United Merchants The first league of Peruvian football will play this year. The Cutervo team achieved promotion in 2024 after becoming League 2 champions in 2023 and will play in the top category after five years. The Águilas will continue under the leadership of national coach Carlos Silvestri, who, together with his technical command, has tried to put together a competitive team to compete in the current season.
The Cajamarca team presented its official squad for 2024, consisting of 25 players. The surprise of this new squad is the presence of six footballers who have passed through the ranks of Alianza Lima in recent years.
Who are the former Alianza Lima players who will play for Comerciantes Unidos this year?
These are the players Sebastián Gonzales Zela, Óscar Pinto, Enzo Borletti, Gerson Valladares, Dylan Caro and Diego Campos. The only footballer traveling from Alianza Lima is Borletti. Óscar Pinto was a two-time champion with the Victorians in 2021 and 2022 and was subsequently loaned to the Sport Boys.
Gerson Valladares played in the interior team in 2016 and then moved through various teams. The goalkeeper's last club was Mannucci.
