Paolo Guerrero to MLS: Los Angeles FC and San Jose Earthquakes would be interested, according to international media

It's no secret that Paolo Guerrero is one of the best players to export Peruvian football in the last 20 years. Its quality and hierarchy are indisputable and, despite its physical problems, it is still tempted by teams from abroad. If before it was Boca Juniors, then Alianza Lima, this time the interest would come from the MLS, since Los Angeles FC and San Jose Earthquakes would be interested in their services for this season .

The news was released by the Spanish media 'Mundo Deportivo'. On their website they announced that the trip that the national striker made to the United States was not only for a topic to deal with his recovery from the knee injury, but also to define a club in that country. And it would be the second time he traveled to North America, since he did the same thing a couple of weeks ago.

Precisely, one of the teams that would be interested would be Los Angeles FC, which through sports manager Marco Garcés and coach Steve Cherundolo, would look for ways to convince the player to join the club to form a pair of fear with the Mexican Carlos Vela, one of the team's stars Californian. In fact, the same DT would know the 'Predator' after his time as a player in the Hannover 96 of the Bundesliga between 1998 and 2014. At that time, he was able to face him when he was wearing the Bayern Munich and Hamburg jersey, so he knows what he can bring him. This team was also the winner in 2019 of the 'Supporters' Shield ', which is awarded to the club with the best statistics in a regular season of the main US championship.

In the current season they place first with 7 points, so this would be an attraction to attract Guerrero, as it would indicate that they can fight for the highest title in the United States.

However, it would not be the only club that set its sights on Paolo, since San Jose Earthquakes would also have him on the agenda. In this case, coach Matías Almeyda would be the one to endorse his signing. In addition, in their ranks they have another Peruvian like Marcos López, who has been having greater continuity under the command of the Argentine and who has grown a lot since his arrival in the United States in 2019.

Unlike the Californians, the 'goonie' cast does have two MLS titles in its history (2001 and 2003), although this season they are in the penultimate position with 1 point in 3 games, so they need a player of the ranking to rise in the table and fight for bigger goals.

It should be noted that another club that was also associated with was the Houston Dynamo, but they would have ruled it out to launch in the middle of the year for the Mexican steering wheel of Atletico Madrid, Hector Herrera.

RECENT TRIP TO THE UNITED STATES

Paolo Guerrero would be in the United States at the moment. The same player uploaded a photo to his Instagram account three days ago. “On the way. Getting better every day”, was the message published in English by the Peruvian attacker.

FOCUSED ON RECOVERY

At the moment, the former Corinthians gunner, among other Brazilian clubs, is focused on his recovery from the injury to his right knee, which led him to terminate his contract with Inter Porto Alegre in October last year. Since that date he has been on the football fields.

And although he was close to signing for Alianza Lima, the same sports manager of the club, José Bellina, told the press that “the squad is closed”, left the door open to see if there would be a chance of it coming in the middle of the year or by next year.
