Next August 7, Barranquilla will celebrate Junior’s centenary in Colombian soccer. The Arenosa team will celebrate its 100 years of existence at a very important moment for the club. The ‘Shark’ is classified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores 2024 and there are strong versions that indicate that the team is looking for top signings for the second half of the year. They want to fight for ‘Eternal glory’ and that is why this transfer market is essential to meet the objectives.
In addition to the top names that sound in Barranquilla, such as James Rodríguez, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, Luis Fernando Muriel and Alfredo Morelos, Junior looks at elements of Colombian football that could lend a hand and Millonarios is no stranger to him. Sources close to the team comment that a starter in coach Alberto Gamero’s scheme could move to ‘Tiburón’.
“There is another player who would not mind leaving Millonarios and reaching Junior, it is Juan Carlos Pereira. He is from Cartagena, in the past he was close when he was annoying with that on networks, he is fighting with Guillermo Celis, with those who are going to be in that position like Víctor Cantillo and Homer Martínez,” said Juan Salvador Bárcena.
It is worth highlighting that Juan Carlos Pereira He is highly valued in Millonarios, he is considered a fundamental player in the midfield and everything could be in place for him to make the leap, as long as Junior’s offer exceeds his contractual issues with the ‘Ambassador’.
More surprises for the 100 years of Junior de Barranquilla?
Luis Fernando Muriel, Alfredo Morelos and Juan Guillermo Cuadrado These are the names that appeared on the radar of the Junior from Barranquilla. And it was no wonder that they were registered there. Some sources insist that the team would be willing to ‘go all out’ for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of its founding. Continuing to advance in the Copa Libertadores seems to be the number one objective of the directives. They will face Colo Colo from Chile and then they could face off with the winner between Talleres vs. River Plate.
To these names are also added Andrés Colorado and Yairo Moreno. In addition, work is being done on the renovation of Carlos Bacca. Other names could appear over the next few weeks.
