Due to the non-renewal of Jairo Concha at Alianza Lima, a starting position as a midfielder for the blue and white club is vacant for this season. The 24-year-old footballer decided not to renew his commitment to the La Victoria team and instead chose the Universitario de Deportes. His signing has become one of the most high-profile in the current transfer market as he is the closest rival to the trusted ones.
With Concha's departure to the Ate team, the number “10” was also free, which the midfielder wore in 2023. However, his replacement was quickly chosen among the reinforcements that recently joined Alejandro Restrepo's team.
Who will wear the Alianza Lima 10 jersey after Jairo Concha's departure?
via social networks, Lima Alliance shared a video of his footballers' first photo session of the year. At one point in the recording it can be seen that the “10” jersey bears the surname of Sebastián Rodríguez, a Uruguayan midfielder who was announced as the brand new Jale last Friday the 13th.
The “Mago” is one of the most important signings after his great season with Peñarol, a club that finished second in the Uruguayan League, with which he scored seven goals and provided five assists.
