Sportivo San Lorenzo has lost its captain, Aldo Emmanuel Quiñónez, who is moving to play football in Peru. The 35-year-old midfielder departs the Ciudad Universitaria club for Sport Huancayo.

Quiñónez was involved in a controversy during the Apertura tournament when he suggested there was an incentive from Cerro Porteño to undermine rival Olimpia. This led to a fine of 10 million guaraníes.

The central midfielder leaves San Lorenzo, a team seemingly headed for relegation, for a move to Peru. Quiñónez has had an extensive career, contributing to San Lorenzo's promotion and playing 21 matches in the first half of the season. He was formed at Olimpia and has also played for various other clubs in Paraguay and Bolivia, as well as Monagas in Venezuela.

His departure leaves coach Troadio Duarte needing to rebuild the team's central midfield, as Quiñónez was known for his ball-winning abilities.
