In case of not achieving the hiring of the Paraguayan Alexis Duarte, from Cerro Porteño, the board of directors of Blue Cross has a second option in soccer in Paraguay to reinforce the central defense of The Machine.

Sources confirmed to ESPN that the Paraguayan defender was also Roberto Fernandez, of the Guaraní Club, is the second option that the cement club has to reinforce itself in that position facing the Closing 2022, with which the board will be able to choose in the coming days who to hire, either Duarte or Fernández.

Both Guarani defenders are 21 years old and are considered “young realities” of soccer in that country, said a source consulted by ESPN in Paraguay.

Other sources consulted by this medium commented that the value of Duarte is approximately 4 million dollars, while Fernández is valued at a figure close to 3.5 million dollars, but in both cases both the directive and the celestial technical body consider that would be good bets for the present and future of Blue Cross.

On the other hand, the informants commented that both Cerro Porteño and Guaraní are interested in negotiating with their young strongholds, with which Blue Cross could prop up one of the positions he most needs, since he suffered the losses of Josué Reyes and Alexis Peña, the former is already a Cimarrones player in the Expansion League and the latter returned to Chivas after a year on loan, while Julio César Domínguez and Pablo Aguilar are already 34 years old and the end of their cycle at the institution is approaching.

Sources added that Blue Cross hopes to finalize the purchase of a central defense in the coming days to continue strengthening the squad this year, after the incorporation of the Uruguayan Christian Tabó and the mexicans Uriel antuna, Alejandro mayorga, Carlos Rodriguez Y Erik Lira, also considering the loss of 12 players in this winter market.

On the other hand, ESPN was able to confirm that the option to Cristian Pavon still stands and the directive of Blue Cross remains in negotiations with Boca Juniors to sign the 25-year-old Argentine striker, who has six months remaining on his contract at the xeneize club.
