Alianza Lima would finalize in the next few hours the hiring of a foreign forward center if it defines to dispense with the services of the Uruguayan attacker Adrián Balboa who on Tuesday June 30 ends his contract with the Blue and Whites’ institution.
There were several foreign forwards evaluated by the Scouting department of the “team of the people”. But as the days progressed the possibilities would have focused on a shortlist.
Due to availability and game characteristics, the first option would lie with the Argentine striker Luciano Pons (30), remembered because he was very close to being hired by the administration at the request of coach Miguel Ángel Russo. ‘Lucho’ ended his contract with San Martín de Tucumán for the Argentine promotion – where he had the opportunity to score 12 goals – and is now a free player. The 80 meter height and its performance in the field, make it very similar to Emanuel Herrera, the Argentine scorer who contributed to the conquest of the 2018 Sporting Cristal title of the year with the command of Mario Salas.
Another alternative is the Uruguayan Sebastián Ribas (32) who completed a loan in Rosario Central and must return to Lanús, which is the club that owns the pass. The Charrúa played in several important clubs in Europe and responds to the pseudonym ‘Vikingo’.
On the last step is the Argentine Cristian Menendez (32) who militates in Puebla de México. It is said that the Pachuca Group would buy it; however, there is still no economic agreement, although the artilleryman’s desire is to return to his country.
One of the three cited would have to settle with the intimates no later than Wednesday, due to the approaching training ahead of the restart of League 1. Although, everything indicates that Rosario Pons would be chosen.
Finally, the Uruguayan striker Federico Rodríguez he would remain in the club until the end of the season. In this way, Alianza Lima will fight the rest of the season with foreigners Ruberth Quijada, Cristian Zúñiga, Luis Aguiar, Federico Rodríguez and the other foreign striker who is waiting in the starting line for the call to join the squad as soon as possible.
