Sporting Cristal: Washington Corozo and the possibility of returning to Rimac in the middle of the year

In his desire to bet on young values and dominate the national medium, Sporting Cristal bet on Washington Corozo in 2020, who after a season and a half at the club, left for Mexican football. In this case, his stay has been remarkable and there is talk of the possibility that he will continue, despite having a contract with the 'celestes'. Therefore, in this note we will tell you what is known about its future.

The Ecuadorian winger has been performing at a great level in Liga MX with the Pumas of UNAM, a team that wants to count on their services beyond the loan they agreed with the 'brewing' entity that ends in June of this year. However, if an agreement is not reached, the footballer could return to La Florida or leave in search of another club that, due to its outstanding performances, it would not be far-fetched for him to capture.

Precisely, the newspaper 'Depor' reported on its website about a contact they had with their representative, Johan Flolo, about what could happen after mid-2022. “It's a bit complicated to know what will happen. We handled two offers in Brazil and next week one will arrive from Spain. We have not yet heard from Pumas's directive regarding the purchase of his pass. I'm going to travel next week to meet and negotiate with the leaders of Pumas,” said the manager.

Now, the businessman also did not rule out the possibility of him returning to the 'rimense' institution to fulfill the remainder of his contract that expires at the end of 2023, although he also pointed out that, for now, the player is only focused on the objectives of the 'felina' entity.

“I would say there is a 50% chance. He's only got a year and a half away from his contract. If we don't reach any agreement with a club, he would return without problems in June and could end his bond and then leave almost free. For now Washington doesn't think about its future. It only focuses on the present. He longs to win the Liga MX and the CONCACAF Champions League. When the season ends, I will present to him the proposals we have for him to decide,” he said.

STAGE AT SPORTING CRISTAL

It is worth mentioning that Corozo arrived in Peru in 2020 to play for Sporting Cristal. And although at the beginning it did not go in the best way under the command of Manuel Barreto, the arrival of Roberto Mosquera allowed him to show his best football based on the enormous speed he had and the overflow. In fact, he formed a dangerous trident with Emanuel Herrera and Christopher Olivares. In that season he scored 8 goals and 14 assists in 26 matches, numbers that contributed to the national title.

For the following year, the actors in the attack changed and he shared eleventh with Irven Ávila and Marcos Riquelme. However, he experienced bitter episodes with the fans due to his key errors ahead of the goal against Racing Argentina and Rentistas de Uruguay for Copa Libertadores.

NEWS IN MEXICO

However, his other great qualities made him receive offers and he took that of the Pumas to play in Mexico. On 'Aztec' soil it has also left its mark and a more than positive one. This is because in the Apertura Tournament he scored 5 goals in 19 matches played.

Although by March of this year its performance fell, to the point that it was no longer considered among the headlines. But after this period, he restarted with a team that does not come in the best way in the domestic competition, since it is in the middle of the table (11th) with 19 points. In the Clausura, 'Manchita' played 12 matches and scored 2 scores. In this way, the 'university' squad remains waiting to enter the Play-Offs.

This is what the skilled footballer will focus on, until June arrives and, both Sporting Cristal and the Pumas and the agent meet to discuss the best for his professional career. Without a doubt, it would be useful for the 'brewers' to have their services, given that it does not have that profile on the campus, but it will be known in the coming months.
