The Lima Alliance by Alejandro Restrepo It continues to be compiled for the 2024 season, which will host not only the local tournament but also the Copa Bicentenario and the Copa Libertadores. The blue and white club also released 12 footballers, among whom stand out great personalities such as Pablo Míguez, Josepmir Ballón, Christian Cueva and Jairo Concha.
“Purge” that hit the institution very hard, since an important backbone that had won a two-time championship and second place against the Universitario de Deportes had disappeared but, according to experts in the field, had already reached its peak. With this departure, Restrepo, Marioni and Bonillo began work on the incorporations.
Renzo Garcés, Jiovany Ramos, Juan Pablo Freytes, Adrián Arregui, Catriel Cabellos, Kevin Serna and Jamir D'Arrigo are the players who have signed a contract with the Blue-Whites for this new season – not counting the extensions Sabbag, boats j Campos– and that they will try to secure a place in Alejandro Restrepo's team.
Beyond name and nationality, the intimate image shows an imbalance between departures and arrivals. Without the goalkeeper, which will be filled by Campos, Saravia and de la Cruz, there are still three positions to be filled. Although it is true that Kevin Serna and Jamir D'Arrigo can play full-backs in the line of three that the Colombian coach would use, in any case footballers would be needed for these places and not improvised as is currently the case.
In addition, the surprising departure of Jairo Concha It hit Alianza Lima hard, which was negotiating a contract extension with the midfielder. It is said that his place would be filled by Sergio Peña, but it is not certain as he still has a contract with Malmö of Sweden for the whole of 2024 and his club will play in the Champions League.

Among the rumors there is talk of the arrival of the team Marco Huaman, still associated with Sport Huancayo. However, there is nothing concrete yet and considering that they are still looking for the creative midfielder and another striker for the team, the clock is ticking against Alianza Lima, who have already started their pre-season and are expected to have their full squad this way weeks. Let's remember that League 1 2024 starts on January 26th.
