This Friday, Ceará officially announced the arrival of its first reinforcement for the offensive sector with an eye on the 2026 season: forward Juan Alano. The 29-year-old player, who has played in Japanese football since 2020, signed a one-year contract.
Revealed by Internacional in 2017, Juan Alano played for the club from Rio Grande do Sul until 2019. In the same year, he was loaned to Coritiba, where he played 44 matches. In 2020, the athlete began his journey in Japan, being transferred to Kashima Antlers. During his three seasons at the Japanese club, Juan Alano took part in 85 official games and contributed directly to 19 goals.
Over the last four seasons, the forward represented Gamba Osaka. For the club, he played 103 matches and contributed directly to 26 goals. Versatility is one of Juan Alano's characteristics; although he is a forward by origin, he frequently played in midfield in his most recent years in Japan.
Juan Alano will join the black-and-white squad and begin preseason training in the coming days. His official presentation in Porangabuçu is scheduled for January 2, 2026. The contract signed with Ceará is valid for one year.
