Flamengo sign Peru striker Guerrero

Xinhua, May 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

Flamengo have signed Peru international striker Paolo Guerrero on a three-year contract, the Brazilian club said on Friday.

The 31-year-old joins the Rio de Janeiro outfit after three seasons at Corinthians, where he scored 54 goals from 130 matches. Financial details for the deal were not revealed.

The announcement came a day after Flamengo named Cristovao Borges as their coach, replacing former Real Madrid manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

Guerrero will only join the five-time Brazilian Serie A champions after the Copa America, to be played in Chile from June 11 to July 4.

Peru have been drawn in Group C for the tournament alongside Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. Endi
