LIMA, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Peru international midfielder Paolo Hurtado has returned to his original club Alianza Lima after parting ways with Chile's Union Espanola.
The 31-year-old joins the Peruvian top-flight club on a free transfer in a deal that runs until December 2023.
"It's a dream come true to come home and play for this club again," Hurtado said in a video posted on social media on Saturday.
Hurtado, who has been capped 37 times for Peru's national team, made 73 appearances and scored 12 goals for Alianza during his first spell with the club from 2008 to 2012.
He is expected to make his return in Alianza's home Primera Division fixture against Sport Boys on July 17. ■
