It is no secret to anyone that one of the biggest shortcomings of Deportes Tolima in recent seasons has been the lack of a guaranteed striker to achieve the opportunities that the team generates. The club has tried to fill that position with young forwards like Carlos Barreiro or Lucas González, but neither lived up to expectations.
At the same time, others like Brayan Gil and Diego Herazo, at the time, showed results, but they did not convince the pijao fan. For this reason, the biggest request from the fans continues to be the arrival of a renowned forward and in their excitement, there are many players they can imagine.
Recently, Lechona Nation, a website dedicated to creating humorous, informative and general content about Deportes Tolima, made a post that left more than a few people stunned. As a joke, they posed as Colombian football transfer expert Pipe Sierra and announced a “verbal agreement” between historic Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero and Deportes Tolima.
Its purpose, more than generating a rumor, was about a graphic description between what the fan expects and what the club management gives him, taking into account the imminent arrival of the Uruguayan forward Franco Sebastián López, from the Progreso club in Uruguay. .
Shock on social media
The joke got out of control and was reposted massively and even reshared in sports news, creating a whole debate on social networks about its veracity, even comparing the supposed arrival of the Peruvian to Deportes Tolima with that of Falcao García at Millionaires.
Paolo Guerrero is coming to Tolima? For what purpose?

Even Adrian Magnoli, a commentator for DirecTV Sports, made a funny tweet about the issue. However, he was not the only one to give visibility to the topic, since in Thursday’s broadcast, ESPN Peru also dedicated a section of its program to address the issue and dismiss the rumors.
