Esteban Pavez Nears Joining Alianza Lima as a New Recruit

Esteban Pavez, the captain of Colo Colo, is on the verge of joining Alianza Lima as a new recruit. The Peruvian club has been actively seeking a defensive midfielder to complete its foreign signings. With Pavez’s experience and leadership, he is seen as the ideal addition to strengthen the squad.

Negotiations and Agreement

Reports from Nicolás Ramírez, a journalist covering Colo Colo for ESPN, indicate that an agreement between Pavez and Alianza Lima is already in place. His previous connection with coach Pablo Guede, who has managed him at both Colo Colo and Tijuana in Mexico, facilitated the move.

Expected Transfer Timeline

The transfer could be finalized as early as Wednesday. The management board of Blanco y Negro, which oversees Colo Colo, will soon address Pavez’s situation. This decision is pivotal for Alianza Lima as they prepare for the Liga 1 and the CONMEBOL Libertadores.

Implications for Alianza Lima

• Position Strengthening: Pavez’s arrival is crucial for Alianza Lima’s midfield.
• Experience: At 35 years old, Pavez brings a wealth of experience to the team.
• Coaching Connection: His prior relationship with Pablo Guede may enhance team dynamics.

While Uruguayan Agustín Álvarez Wallace was previously considered, Pavez stands out as the chosen solution to bolster Alianza Lima’s chances in upcoming competitions.
