Paraguay celebrates the signing of top scorer Allan Wlk with Lanús, a move that could benefit the national team in the future. The 25-year-old forward has been one of the best players in Paraguay this season and his arrival at Lanús could be a blow to rival teams in the Argentine league.
What happened?
Lanús has announced the signing of Allan Wlk, a 25-year-old Paraguayan forward who has been one of the best players in Paraguay this season. Wlk has played for several clubs in Paraguay, including Olimpia and Recoleta FC, and has been selected to play for the Paraguayan national team on several occasions.
Why does it matter for Paraguay?
The signing of Wlk by Lanús could benefit the Paraguayan national team in the future. With his experience and skills on the pitch, Wlk could be a key player for the national team in the next Copa América tournament.
What comes next?
Wlk will join Lanús in July and play his first game with the team in August. The Paraguayan national team is also preparing for its next game in the Copa América, which will be played in September.
The last appearance of Paraguay in the Copa América was on July 4, 2026, when they lost 0-1 to France. Recently, the national team has played 5 games, with a record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses (LDDWL, most recent first).
Lanús paid a sum close to $2 million to secure 80% of Wlk's contract, a deal that makes both Olimpia and Recoleta FC smile. Both Paraguayan clubs, owners of the transfer, will share the profits equally. Wlk will have a ‘welcome committee’ of top level in the Fortaleza locker room, where his compatriots José Canale and Ronaldo Dejesús López, two defensive pillars, will be in charge of protecting his adaptation so that he only has to worry about breaking the rival nets.
