Hernan Barcos invited Marcelo Martins to play for Alianza Lima

Hernán Barcos ‘invited’ Marcelo Martins to play for Alianza Lima: "We are waiting for you here"

In recent years, Alianza Lima has “breakthrough” the passing market in Peruvian football by incorporating really weighty tails. Hernán Barcos, Jefferson Farfán, Christian Cueva and Carlos Zambrano are the top-rated names to have dressed in blue and white of late, but fans are not losing the illusion of other ‘crakcs’ like Gianluca Lapadula or, more recently, too have , Marcelo Moreno Martinsaccording to a curious comment on the Pirate Instagram account.

In a publication of the well-known social network about the new record achieved by Barcos in the intimate club (best foreign goalscorer), the historic striker of the Bolivian team left his congratulatory comment. “Scorer,” the Highlander praised the Argentine, to which he responded with an unexpected invitation.

“Great, friend. We are waiting for you here,” wrote the alliance. Both players met in the 2013 season at the Gremio de Porto Alegre, where a good friendship was formed between them, which lasts to this day, despite the passage of time and the fact that they no longer played together.

However, the ‘pirate’ wish may be a long way off as Martins is currently on a contract with Independiente del Valle until the end of 2023 with an option to extend it for another year. In addition, the Bolivian’s advanced age (36) and his expensive salary make him an unattractive transfer option.

Until when does Hernán Barcos have a contract?

Formed in 2021, Hernán Barcos will remain in an intimate deal until at least the end of December 2023, when the latest contract extension expires, according to the Transfermarkt portal. The 39-year-old attacker has won two national titles with Alianza (2021 and 2022).
