Racing moves the market. He sells important figures for Argentine football: Enzo Copetti left for around six million dollars and Carlos Alcaraz for over 13 million euros. In addition, he managed to repatriate Maximliano Moralez, who arrived free from New York City and bought Juan Ignacio Nardoni’s pass. Now, the Academy is analyzing what has been a real chimera in various markets: the arrival of Paolo Guerrero in Argentine football.

In dialogue with the Passion for Racing program, Rubén Oscar Capria, manager of Academyadmitted to having had an interview with the footballer who shone in which they interviewed the footballer who shone in Bayern Munich and the Peruvian national team: Paul Guerrero.

“There was a poll. We are weighing the pros and cons of all the players we are evaluating, which are many more. Not just Paul. He is a player who doesn’t need qualifications, of remarkable quality. Oh well, you have to evaluate how it is. We do all the evaluations in the signing phase to have the least margin of error, but this is football. We try to have information to reduce that margin. It is always to strengthen the squad and, if not, we are happy with the players we have in all lines” quoted the coach and former Racing player.

Currently, at his 39 years old, Paolo plays for Avai in Brazil, who participate in that country’s Second Division. Throughout his club career, the relentless goalscorer who has had spells for Bayern Munich, Hamburg, Corinthians, Flamengo and Internacional, managed to convert a total of 190 goals.

In the Peruvian national team he played 107 matches in which he converted 39 goals. In addition to collaborating with many, the player was a point of reference in the team led by Ricardo Gareca during the last qualifying rounds, where he wore the captain’s belt for a long time.

After the farewell of Enzo Copetti to MLS Charlotte, the team’s top scorer last season with 25 goals, Racing seems to need a 9 in the hierarchy. We’ll have to see if it’s Guerrero.

In the last three seasons, Paolo Guerrero has played just 41 games: 15 at Inter Porto Alegre in 2020 and 16 in 2021. In 2022 he moved to Avaí, also in Brazil, where he played ten games.

This year the team coached by Fernando Gago will have a busy schedule: Argentina Super Cup on January 20 against Boca in Abu Dhabi; Professional soccer league, Argentina cup and Libertadores cup.
