Libertad sign Santos defender and former Corinthians midfielder | OneFootball

This Friday, Libertad from Paraguay announced the signing of three reinforcements with experience in Brazilian football: Alexis Duarte, a defender arriving on loan from Santos, Matías Rojas, formerly of Corinthians, and Alan Benítez, formerly of Internacional.

Package of Reinforcements

Alexis joined Santos last year but was not utilized. The defender played only six matches for Peixe, one of them this year. On that occasion, against Chapecoense, the Paraguayan, who made his season debut, failed in three of the four goals scored by the team from Santa Catarina. The defender has been consistently called up to the Paraguayan National Team and might be among the 26 names on the World Cup list.

The defender's loan will last until June 2026, at the end of the Apertura (Paraguayan Championship).

Alongside him, Matías Rojas, formerly of Corinthians, and the full-back Alan Benítez, formerly of Inter, were also announced. After terminating his contract with Corinthians due to delays, the midfielder, who was revealed by Cerro Porteño, played for clubs in the United States and River Plate. The player had a disappointing stint with Timão and did not score any goals during his year in Brazil.

Alan Benítez had not been getting opportunities at Inter and terminated his contract with the team from Rio Grande do Sul last Friday. The full-back returns to his first club of his career.
