Paolo Guerrero, with a career marked by ups and downs, continues to be a prominent figure in South American football, even at the age of 40. Revealed by the youth teams of Alianza Lima, Guerrero accumulated experiences in world-renowned clubs before his recent and tumultuous passage through Peruvian football with César Vallejo.
The Peruvian striker, after winning the Copa Sudamericana by LDU (EQU) in 2023 and registering a remarkable spell at Flamengo, where he left his mark with 43 goals in 112 games and a Campeonato Carioca title in 2017, he found himself in the middle of a delicate situation when signing with César Vallejo. The signing, announced with great enthusiasm, promised to bring the experienced player back to his home country to play in Liga1.
César Vallejo, when agreeing the terms of the contract, positioned Guerrero as the highest paid player in the tournament, with a salary that exceeded US$ 100 thousand per month, in addition to offering benefits such as a beach house, personal security and first class flights to visit family in Brazil.
However, the excitement was short-lived. Guerrero decided to break the contract before even making his debut, citing threats suffered by his mother in Peru as the main reason for this decision. This incident raised questions not only about the safety of the player and his family, but also about the challenges faced by athletes in their home countries. César Vallejo's president expressed understanding for Guerrero's delicate situation, highlighting the weight of family circumstances in the player's decision.
“I understand Paolo (Guerrero). On the same day he signed the contract, criminals threatened his mother. I think he's meditating, she's evaluating her family or football. I would do it. They called his mother and threatened her”, said the president, highlighting the attempt to involve even the Minister of Defense in the issue.
Currently, Guerrero is in Rio de Janeiro, a city where chose it as his residence after leaving Flamengo. He continues to train individually, considering his next steps, including the possibility of retiring from the field. This reflection is influenced both by his recent achievements and by the off-field challenges he faced.
