Rio de Jeneiro, Oct 14 (IANS): Argentine football giants River Plate are preparing an offer to sign Peru international forward Paolo Guerrero next year, according to widespread media reports.
The 33-year-old is contracted to Brazilian outfit Flamengo until August 2018, meaning he will be free to sign a pre-contract with another club in February, reports Xinhua news agency.
Guerrero has also been linked with River Plate's cross-city rivals Boca Juniors in recent months.
News of the Argentine club's interest comes just days after Guerrero scored a late equaliser for Peru in their final 2018 World Cup qualifier against Colombia, securing the Andean nation a play-off berth against New Zealand.
The former Bayern Munich striker has scored 42 goals in 104 matches for Flamengo since his 2015 move from Corinthians.
