League 1 2023 knew the teams that will compete in the finals. These are Alianza Lima and Universitario de Deportes, the classic rivals. However, without knowing who will be champion, the clubs do not stop their activities and plan what will be next season. Kevin Serna, from ADT, was a highly coveted player, with Sporting Cristal being the favorite to acquire him. Until the ‘intimates’ burst in with a more tempting offer and signed him. In that sense, the footballer’s representative, Narciso Algamis, spoke regarding it and gave details of the dispute between both clubs.
“Sporting Cristal was making an effort to hire him. The issue was between ADT and the clubs that wanted it. There are things that one cannot get involved in and they have to be defined between clubs. Obviously, they did not agree and the player signed for Alianza Lima”, were his first words in dialogue with Radio Ovación.
In fact, the ‘Rimense’ team had emerged as the main option for the skilled winger and everything indicated that the operation was going to be carried out. However, despite having reached an agreement between both parties, the approval of the leadership of the Tarmeño club was missing, something that did not happen.
The president of Rímac, Joel Raffo, confessed to the press following the victory once morest Alianza Atlético, that “we decided not to pay what ADT wanted, because we considered that the operation was not worth it, and we are not going to pay on a whim.”

Evidently, these statements angered more than one Sporting Cristal fan, due to the fact that the entity pocketed a large amount of money as a result of the redeemable campaign in the Copa Libertadores, and has lost the fight for a player who performed in all of them. the altitudes of Peru once morest a direct rival in League 1 like Alianza Lima.
Kevin Serna’s agent did not take the ‘bajopontino’ president’s words the wrong way and left a message. “I don’t see it as out of context. Each one has their own economic reality, one cannot put oneself in the pockets of others. Cristal is respectable, but the issue is one of negotiation,” he said.
Likewise, he highlighted the virtues of the Colombian soccer player. “He is a player who always plays, physically he is very strong, he was not injured and he is a person who takes great care of himself,” he said.

One of the reasons why Kevin Serna was a coveted piece by the big Peruvian soccer clubs such as Sporting Cristal, Alianza Lima and Universitario was due to the fact that in 2024 he would play with a national ID. This is because he had already spent three consecutive years in Peru. In fact, he arrived at Los Chankas of League 2 in 2021, where he scored ten goals in 24 games. The following season he joined ADT until 2023, achieving a total of 15 touchdowns and 16 clearances in 70 games played.
Under that premise, he met all the requirements to acquire Peruvian nationality. Along these lines, Narciso Algamis stated that the player has already taken his exam and hopes that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, adding that the contract with La Victoria will be for four years. “The other day he took the exam, apparently he gave it well and we hope that this issue is resolved quickly,” he said.
Now, the manager also admitted that there was a possibility a month ago that the winger would make the jump to the Middle East, but he ruled it out because his wife was going to give birth. For this reason, he decided to continue his career in ‘Inca’ territory. “He is very happy. We rejected an offer from Saudi Arabia 30 days ago due to a family issue, since working there is not so easy and even more so when his wife is going to have a family. So he decided to stay here and I don’t think he would care regarding any shirt because he is a very professional guy and he is happy to play for a big team,” he said.
