Corinthians world champion names André Carrillo as target for Peruvian club | OneFootball

Currently 42 years old, forward Paolo Guerrero, who won the Club World Cup with Corinthians in 2012, gave an interview to the L1Max channel and suggested that midfielder André Carrillo, who has been wearing Alvinegro’s colors since mid-2024, should join Alianza Lima of Peru. Now 34, the player came through the youth ranks and also played professionally for the Peruvian club between 2007 and 2011.

“I think Renato (Tapia) and André (Carrillo), among those who are currently abroad, are the ones closest to joining Alianza Lima. I think that, because of their roots and the blood running through their veins, white and blue, it would be beautiful to see them here at Alianza,” he began.

Like André Carrillo, who has ties to Alianza, Paolo Guerrero has represented the Peruvian club since 2024. After leaving Peruvian football, Carrillo played for: Sporting-POR (2011/2012 to 2015/2016), Benfica-POR (2016/2017), Watford-ENG (2017/2018), Al-Hilal (2018/2019 to 2023/2024) and Al-Qadisiyah (2023/2024 to 2024/2025). His contract with Corinthians expires in December.

“I think he (André Carrillo) is certainly focused on his current club at the moment, but everyone knows that, because of his roots, white and blue blood runs through his veins. I’m sure that, at some point, he will be here at Alianza Lima, winning titles. I’m very clear about that,” he said.

André Carrillo arrived at Corinthians almost two years ago, after his contract was not renewed in the Arab world. He was a starter in the team’s surge in the 2024 Brasileirão (from the relegation zone to the Libertadores qualifiers), and he was also part of the title-winning squads in the Campeonato Paulista (2025), Copa do Brasil (2025) and Supercopa do Brasil (2026), against Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama and Flamengo, respectively. In total, he has three goals and six assists in 96 matches (59 as a starter) wearing the Timão shirt.

The center forward played for Corinthians between July 2012 and May 2015. His most memorable moment at the club came in his first year, in December 2012, when he scored Timão’s goals in the Club World Cup triumph in Japan. In total, he recorded 54 goals and 16 assists in 130 matches (117 as a starter) for Alvinegro, winning: the Club World Cup (2012), the Paulista Championship (2013), the Recopa Sudamericana (2013) and the Brasileirão (2015).
