In the last few hours, news emerged that shook the foundations The victory: Paolo Guerrero is in Alianza Lima's sights. Although the 40-year-old striker explained last Tuesday, January 2, that the blue and white club had not sent him an offer, things changed when the intimate board began to recruit the services of the “Predator” in 2024 to claim.
Although the first contacts have only just begun, there is a willingness on both sides to unite their paths and we were able to see the top scorer of the Peruvian team dressed in blue and white. For this reason, in this note we will explain the five main reasons why Alianza Lima would have to repatriate Doña Peta's son for this season.

Leadership given the departure of several references
One of the qualities that stood out most in Paolo Guerrero's career is his leadership qualities. The “Predator” was always a reference in all the teams in which he played, he was the main character and was noticed both on and off the field. This increased when he became captain of the Peruvian team and forced the team onto his back.
In addition, it must be highlighted that this new version of Lima Alliance It is a completely different team, with great leaders like Josepmir Ballón and Pablo Míguez no longer represented. It's true that there are still names like Hernán Barcos and Ángelo Campos, but Alejandro Restrepo's team still needs one more, and what better if it came from a man who grew up in this house.

Good gift in football
When many thought Paolo Guerrero's career was over, especially due to his poor performance in Avaí and lack of minutes at Racing de Avellaneda, the 'Predator' showed everyone that he still has enough quality to compete at the highest level, and signed with him for the Quito League, a team with which he would become champions not only of Ecuadorian football but also of the Copa Sudamericana.

Experience in international tournaments
If there is something that has Paolo Guerrero It's experience, especially in international tournaments. If we only focus on the competitions of our continent, the top scorer of the Peruvian team has scored in both the Copa Libertadores and the Sudamericana with different jerseys such as Flamengo, Corinthians and LDU.
As if that wasn't enough, the 'Predator' knows what it's like to beat a European team like Chelsea, such as when they won by one goal in the 2012 Club World Cup final.

It would be the new image of Alianza Lima
Something that has characterized Alianza Lima in recent years is that it always brings a “bomb” figure. The inclusion of Paolo Guerrero would help not only on the pitch but also off it in terms of brand positioning.
With the striker as the main reference, more jerseys could be sold, fans would buy season tickets, they would attend the stadium en masse and hope would be renewed in a new team, badly hit after losing in the final to their classic rivals, and in his own Stadion.
