Beyond having been far behind in the fight for the Apertura Tournament and not making it to the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, Kevin Serna was one of the footballers whose value rose the most in recent weeks at Alianza Lima. His speed, dribbling as well as his goal rate (3 so far this year) allowed his value to rise from one million to 2.5 million dollars in total. And, of course, having scored twice against Fluminense also allows for a possible jump from Liga 1 to the ‘Old Continent’, in the middle of the European transfer market.
According to Depor, a club from Turkey showed interest in the Colombian, so a possible move to Europe cannot be ruled out yet. Meanwhile, in Argentina there was another club that sought the player, but the situation did not advance due to the issue of the foreigner’s quota. Currently, there are inquiries from scouts and businessmen from around the world, as there always are, but nothing concrete at the moment.
And beyond the fact that every footballer is excited about a big contract in his career, the truth is that Alianza Lima’s number ’26’ is happy at the La Victoria club and wants to be a national champion along with all his teammates. Serna has been training with the rest of his teammates at the Esther Grande de Bentín, in Lurín, awaiting the debut of the white and blue team in the Clausura Tournament.
In this second stage of Liga 1, the national teams have the mission of arriving in optimal conditions, and Alianza Lima and Sport Boys do not want to be left behind. For this reason, both teams scheduled a friendly match in preparation.
The clash between the blue and whites and the pinks will take place on Saturday, July 6 at 3:30 pm, at the Miguel Grau stadium in Callao. In addition, according to what Depor was able to find out, the match will be played with both fan bases, in what will be a real party.
Bascco Soyer with offers
On the other hand, also in the intimate shop, the few opportunities to play for any footballer will be a powerful reason to start looking at new horizons. That may be the case of Bascco Soyer, the 17-year-old attacking midfielder who debuted in July of last year, but who -for now- does not have the expected minutes with Alejandro Restrepo.
In 2023, the U20 team played four games, for a total of 58 minutes. In that sense, the footballer’s entourage believed that ‘El Potrillo’ would have more playing time this year, but he was not in the coach’s plans for the Apertura Tournament and probably will not be for this last stretch either, given the club’s ambitions to want to take the title to be in the final.
Depor also learned that the ‘jewel’ has offers from abroad and that there is still no negotiation with the club for the renewal of his contract, which ends in June 2025. Last Tuesday, the U20 joined the squad in Lurín and Alejandro Restrepo will see if he takes him into account or not.
When does the Liga 1 Clausura Tournament start?
As for Liga 1, the match that will kick off the Clausura Tournament will be Unión Comercio vs. Los Chankas, on Friday, July 12. This match, at the Carlos Vidaurre García Stadium in Tarapoto, promises to be intense and back-and-forth. On the same day, Deportivo Garcilaso will face UTC de Cajamarca and ADT will host Sporting Cristal. On Saturday, July 13, the giants of Peruvian soccer will make their debut: Universitario de Deportes will clash with Carlos A. Mannucci at the Monumental Stadium.
Meanwhile, Alianza Lima will visit Universidad César Vallejo at the Mansiche stadium. The intimates, motivated by the start of the tournament and the need to redeem themselves, will go all out to fight for the national title at the end of the year.
The first matchday will conclude on Sunday, with three matches: Alianza Atlético will play against Atlético Grau, while Cusco FC will host Melgar. Finally, Sport Boys will face Sport Huancayo, thus closing a weekend full of football.
