Alianza Lima vs Universitario | Who are the 24 players who ended their contract at Alianza and ‘U’ after the Classic? | RMMD EMCC | Soccer-Peruvian

In blue and white, the list is quite extensive, with a total of 14 players yet to commit to a continuation for the 2024 season.. In the starting eleven, many can say goodbye to Matute. Angelo Campos, Gino Peruzzi, Josepmir Balon, Jairo Canza, Altair Rodríguez and Hernán Barcos are some of the names in this situation, representing more than half of the regular starting team under the guidance of Mauricio Lariara. In addition, important names such as Santiago García, Cristian Cueva, Andrés Andrade and Pablo Sabac also participated during the year.

In the cream corner, the payoff is smaller, though equally substantial. Analyzing Jorge Fossati’s starting eleven, we notice that around 46% of the players end their contracts., and within that group, 80% of foreign players have arrived at the Aet this season: Williams Riveros, Matias de Benedetto, Rodrigo Urena and Martin Perez Guedes. Added to this is the uncertainty surrounding the availability of starting goalkeeper Jose Carvalho.

Archers theme

Angelo Campos and Jose Carvalho, the two starting goalkeepers, are unsure of their futures under the three blue and white and cream outfits. The former has retained the leadership’s confidence throughout the 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons, resulting in a series of contract renewals. However, given his current performance, a contract extension of more than a year will be agreed this time.. Campos is a goalkeeper with export potential that could generate economic benefits for the Victorian club.

As for the experienced Merengue goalkeeper, questions persist as to whether the Universitario believes he can take over as goalkeeper at the start of his centenary year. Due to his great history at the club, at the very least, there will be a negotiation for him to be a part of the next celebratory season and contribute to the transition for his successor.. In this case, Diego Romero, who has already proved himself to be the cream of prestige, can replace him.

Foreigners who have left their mark

Of the foreigners who arrived at Alianza Lima this season, none could at least match what Hernán Barcos achieved in those colours. That’s because, despite approaching 40 years of age, the Argentine striker continues to be a key attacking weapon for closers. As was the case in the previous season, renewing their bond is a topic that is handled with caution in the Victorian shop. However, it’s somewhat utopian to think that a contract extension won’t come, given that he’s been the top scorer over the past three seasons.

Unlike its classic rival, Universitario has been more fortunate in its foreign recruitment. At least four of them have established themselves as undisputed starters in Fossati’s program. Its performance throughout the year has been astounding, defying earlier expectations. Currently, the names of Rodrigo Urena and Williams Riveros have been mentioned regarding a possible contract renewal. Although it has not been officially confirmed, an agreement is said to have already been reached for the latter. The remaining foreigners (Matías di Benedetto, Martín Pérez Guedes) have also been considered, but there is no urgent rush to start negotiations.

Between the cotton

Throughout the year, Alianza Lima faced many challenges when it came to injuries. In August, the blue and white team listed more than ten players with physical problems. Within this group, two recent signings were Andres Andrade and Pablo Sabac. The Colombians got off to a promising start in Matute that created excitement among the fans. However, injuries hampered his performance. The midfielder required surgery and was sidelined for the rest of the year, while the ‘9’ returned in time for the final part of the season, albeit occupying a substitute role for Barcos. The condition of these players will be evaluated by the club to determine whether it is appropriate to keep them in the squad based on their physical condition.

An isolated case is that of Christian Cueva. He arrived at La Victoria as a high-profile hire, but ended up being one of the least accomplished signings. He failed to score goals and didn’t provide an assist that year. His sensible performance was later explained by an injury he sustained during his time on the mat. Additionally, there were episodes of indiscipline that led to his sanction by the Victorian establishment. All this indicates that the Cueva is unlikely to be available in 2024.

Emanuel Herrera made a historic mark in Peruvian football with a Sporting Cristal shirt. For this reason, when his signing at the Universitario was announced, Creams was thought to be bolstered by an experienced forward with a proven performance history. However, it didn’t work out due to the myriad of physical problems that plagued ‘Tank’, preventing him from showing his best version as a center forward. It is unlikely that he will last in the Merengue next year.
