Last Friday night, Liga de Quito shocked the transfer market in Ecuador by announcing the signing of Paolo Guerrero, a World Cup player and goalscorer for the Peruvian national team.

The arrival of the striker, who terminated his contract with the Argentinian Racing Club in recent days, has divided the university’s fans, who, mostly on social networks, believe that the club should not have brought the 39-year-old footballer.

However, the Peruvian press revealed how much he would be paid in the Quito team and the real reasons why he did not continue in Avellaneda.

“According to sources from Argentina, the Racing coach, Fernando Gago, never asked Predator. From the beginning he told him that the owner was Maximiliano Romero. The Peruvian started to feel uncomfortable after the classic against Independiente, and everything ‘exploded’ when he didn’t play a single minute against Boca Juniors,” the portal states. sluggish.

“Guerrero asked for a meeting with his coach, told him that he does not fit into his system and that he will not be given more minutes. Then the coach wouldn’t even talk to him during training. This, along with the low salary, forced the striker to terminate the contract,” he added.

The site also revealed that the striker would have a salary of close to $30,000 per month, plus bonuses.

“Although Paolo Guerrero would have a monthly salary of 10,000 dollars at Racing, at LDU he would receive 30,000 and his contract would have some bonuses if the team wins the Copa Sudamericana or the player scores a certain number of goals. Salary from Predator that would be below that of winger Renato Ibarra ($40,000 per month),” the note said.

“However, it is surprising that this figure is being paid out when the club avoided high wages in December 2022,” he concluded. (D)
