Deportivo Cali Blocks Pedro Gallese’s Immediate Return to Alianza Lima

Deportivo Cali is enforcing Gallese’s contract through the end of 2027, leaving Alianza unable to complete a quick signing.

Overview

  • Deportivo Cali’s general manager said the club will enforce Gallese’s contract to the end of 2027 and will not consider releasing him ahead of the Colombian league start.
  • Alianza Lima has a verbal agreement with Gallese but cannot finalize a transfer while he remains under contract with Deportivo Cali.
  • Alianza is short on options after Guillermo Viscarra’s departure, with Alejandro Duarte holding the starting spot until a new keeper can be signed.
  • The club’s Junta de Acreedores named Alfredo Arosemena interim administrator and he said his immediate priorities are winning the title and expanding the Alejandro Villanueva stadium.
  • The AFA issued a formal denial of reports that its leaders were summoned by U.S. authorities, saying a U.S. subpoena was directed at a third party and media accounts were inaccurate, and observers should watch how the calendar and contract rules shape any future move for Gallese.
