Why hasn't Juan Pablo Goicochea renewed his contract with Alianza Lima yet?
Ahead of the U-23 Pre-Olympics in Venezuela, DSports journalist Julio Vílchez commented that Juan Pablo Goicochea has not yet renewed his contract with Alianza Lima because his agent has set several conditions.
“Goicochea's agent has set some conditions and it is not clear whether he will continue at Alianza Lima. There is still a conversation after the pre-Olympic Games,” he said.
