Peru defender Rodriguez in talks with Brazilian clubs

Xinhua, November 23, 2016 Adjust font size:

Brazilian Serie D club Boavista said Tuesday it has held talks to sign Peru international center-back Alberto Rodriguez next season.

The 32-year-old will be a free agent next month after completing a one-year deal with Peruvian top-flight outfit Melgar.

"He was offered to us. He is a top player with great quality, but we haven't made an official proposal yet," Boavista football director Joao Paulo Magalhaes told Globoesporte.

Rodriguez's Brazilian agent, Carlos Vaisman, said two other Rio de Janeiro clubs were vying for the defender's signature.

"Boa Vista is an option for him. There are many things going on and next week we'll have a better idea.," Vaisman said.

Rodriguez has been capped 57 times for Peru in a career that has included spells at Sporting Braga, Sporting Lisbon and Rio Ave in Portugal. Endit
