Carlos Bustos said that Alianza Lima has been negotiating with new players for the 2022 season

They want to repeat the triumphs. Alianza Lima seeks to complete its roster for the 2022 season with a view to what will be League 1 and the Copa Libertadores. Carlos Bustos are preparing everything to continue with the good results and, in statements to ESPN, he told some details of the intimate set, in addition to referring to the continuity of Hernán Barcos.

In this sense, the Alianza Lima technician indicated that he knows of some negotiations, but nothing has been confirmed. “I know that the club is in talks with some players, but it is very difficult to name names ahead of time. Conversations are well advanced, although we better hope that the negotiations are closed“, Said the DT on ESPN.

Regarding the case of the ‘Pirate’, Bustos clarified that there is still a contractual link with the player. “I understand that Hernán has a contract with Alianza. Possibly, he has a talk pending with people from the club to update his topic but I am sure that he has a contract with the institution”, He declared.

Who did not have the clear picture is Arley Rodríguez; however, the Argentine strategist said that “Arley is a player that I would like to have”. Yes, a detail to be resolved is the number of foreigners, despite this: “He had a great year, he was a player who knew how to take advantage of his opportunities with the best attitude and that is why I trust that he can be with us again”.

Regarding the reinforcements that he wants to add to the team, the incorporation of a national goalkeeper is on the list: “We not only want one more goalkeeper to come, but also two or three players in other positions, but the club is working on that issue. In what positions? Maybe a midfielder or someone else on offense”.

The plan is for a strong team to be completed, facing the challenges of 2022: “I consider that we have a very good squad, since we are left with a good base from 2021 and, surely, we will end up putting together a great group to compete in the local tournament and in the Copa Libertadores, where we will try to represent the institution well.”.
