1. Did Alianza contact Guerrero?
No. Although an approach from the club towards the former LDU de Quito striker began to gain strength on social networks, the truth is that contact was never made with Paolo Guerrero or anyone around him. Apparently everything was a botched phone, which was generated from the interest of the Alliance sports area and that someone leaked before it went to consultation with the people who have the final say in Matute.
2. Do the club really want to have Paolo?
The Guerrero theme polarizes the intimate interior. The person who requested his signing was Néstor Bonillo, the main figure behind the 2024 squad. Unlike Carlos Zambrano, who was given the thumbs down, the sports advisor has a high regard for the 40-year-old attacker. Despite his age, the Argentine believes that Paolo can add to his leadership and professionalism, assuming that his current football level will be reached in League 1 and Copa Libertadores. This idea is also shared by Bruno Marioni, sports director, and coach Alejandro Restrepo. However, the intention of the former physical trainer of the Peruvian team has been stopped by the managers. “Bonillo wants it, but he has not received the support of the Blanquiazul Fund,” they told us from La Victoria.
3. Who has blocked Guerrero’s arrival?
As we indicated in the previous answer, the Blue and White Fund is against the signing of Paolo, as well as Carlos Hiraoka, who has allowed himself to be influenced by other characters who do not want the return of the scorer. One of them, despite not being a manager, is a player representative and continues to be heard in Matute. The other, the ‘9’, already mentioned it before in an interview with RPP: “In 2023, before going to Racing, I looked for a way to go to Alianza but the managers rejected me, there was a man who was in politics” .
This Friday, Deporte Total was able to speak with Elio Casaretto, who clarifies that he has no influence in Alianza’s sports decisions, much less in the Paolo Guerrero case.

4. The Bonillo factor
Until now, everything that the sports advisor decided had the green light in Alianza Lima. The Argentine was the one who discarded Carlos Zambrano and, although the defender remains linked to the club, ways are being sought to end the link without the institution being harmed. However, the case of Paolo Guerrero could have a tail. Bonillo is waiting for Hiraoka and the Blue and White Fund to give the go-ahead for the arrival of the national attacker, although that scenario has cooled down. Could he leave his position? We asked the question, especially because of Ricardo Gareca’s approach to the Chilean team, receiving this response: “Bonillo is staying, he would not go to Chile. Although we don’t know how much it affects him that they ignore him about Guerrero.”
5. The pressure of the fan
Last Wednesday, once word spread about the interest of the blue and white sports area in Paolo, the forward’s name gained a lot of strength on social networks. Even on X (formerly Twitter) it was a trend with the hashtag #GuerreroAAlianza. It can be read a little less, but it should not go unnoticed. The request of Néstor Bonillo, supported by Marioni and Restrepo, added to the pressure of the Alliance fan, could be a decisive combination for the signing of the experienced footballer. “If there is no support from the Blue and White Fund, there is no chance that Paolo will arrive,” our sources made it clear to us. Although a campaign like the one carried out by Nacional fans for the arrival of Luis Suárez would be enough for someone to give in.
