André Carrillo to Alianza Lima: step by step, the operation that began in La Victoria to repatriate him in two weeks

The complicated context forces: Alianza went out to look for more signings. And he found an illusion: André Carrillo. The ‘Culebra’, born in the house, is not ‘9’ but he can play as a second striker as he has done on some occasions in the Peruvian team. The name also appeared Jeriel De SantisVenezuelan with a Peruvian mother who plays for Boavista in Portugal.

And that Carrillo liked the sports project they showed him. “It’s difficult, but it’s active”a source tells us from the Matute offices. “It’s very difficult, but let’s see”they point out from the footballer’s close environment.

The operation is not at all simple for four fundamental reasons. 1) André has a contract until June 2025 with Al Qadsiyah in the second division of Saudi football. 2) He is an important piece in the team that leads the standings and dreams of promotion: he played 19 of the 21 games, scored a goal and gave five assists. 3) The transfer market in Peruvian football closes on February 26That is, in approximately two weeks. 4) as he pointed out in an exclusive interview with DT, in October 2022, she has her children “inhabited in Arabia, they have never lived in Peru”.

Even so, Carrillo seems to be excited about returning to the club of which he is a fan and where he fulfilled his dream: to be a soccer player. He knows that he has a pending debt: to be champion with the blue and white shirt on.

In Alianza they want the World Cup player André. They need it. They let him know and, for now, the parties would agree. The first step, then, has been taken. The other, the most difficult, is missing: negotiating with Al Qadsiyah, the club that owns the 32-year-old Peruvian’s pass. More than optimism, in Matute there is hope.

Are there two more signings coming?

After losing the classic, Alianza Lima seeks to react in time. Andre Carrillo is not the only one targeted, it is also Jeriel De Santis. DT was able to learn that the sports area of ​​the blue and white institution already has contact with the footballer and his entourage to try to reach an agreement.

In addition, they are waiting for what may happen with Cristian Neira. The offensive midfielder is no longer a Unión Comercio player, although there is a legal issue behind why he has not yet been able to sign for Alianza. “The Conciliation and Disputes Chamber of the Peruvian Football Federation must rule”they tell us from Matute.
