Carlos Ascues shuts down Alianza Lima rumors, says focus is on Orlando City

SANFORD, Fla. — Orlando City centerback/defensive midfielder Carlos Ascues wants to put his injury woes behind him so he can return to form for the Lions – not for a team outside of Central Florida.

Ascues was recently rumored to be looking for a move back to Peruvian side Alianza Lima, where he was playing before he was loaned to Orlando City during the 2018 secondary transfer window. Alianza Lima is also where Ascues started his professional career.

Ascues doused the rumors in a Tuesday interview with Pro Soccer USA.

“No, nothing like that,” Ascues said through a translator when asked if he was interested in rejoining Alianza Lima.
