Alianza Lima Signs Nicolás Díaz on One-Year Loan

Pablo Guede pushed for the Chilean because his ball‑playing versatility fits the coach’s defensive plan and he may be available for the next Clausura match.

Overview

  • The club officially presented Nicolás Díaz on Wednesday, when he described the move as a major challenge and said he likes to help the team build play from the back.
  • Reporting says the transfer is a one‑year loan from Club Tijuana that includes an option for Alianza Lima to buy the defender at the end of the term.
  • Sources say Alianza’s sporting department accelerated talks after an explicit request from coach Pablo Guede, who prioritizes defenders comfortable with possession.
  • Díaz completed his first training session under Guede and journalists report he has high chances of being included in the squad for the upcoming match against Comerciantes Unidos, though an official debut is not confirmed.
  • The 27‑year‑old brings Liga MX experience and prior Chile national team call‑ups, a profile that could both shore up Alianza’s back line now and inform the club’s decision on exercising the purchase option later.
