In this sense, they announce from Ecuador that the blue and white have already arranged everything with a reinforcement for the midfield.
The Ecuadorian journalist Andres Munoz announced that Argentina midfielder Rodrigo Melo was already close to arriving at the blue and white store. “It was known that Rodrigo Melo would hardly continue at Deportivo Cuenca, that was an implicit thing of the parties. I know the fine central midfielder is close to completing his move to Alianza Lima,” he said on his Twitter account.

“For the midfielder there is only one foreign quota. Keep everything on track with Menossi.
