On the other hand, in the League things did not go so well for the team, which was left wanting to revalidate the star they had won in December. They reached the last date of the semi-final home runs with the option of qualifying in their hands, but the 2-0 defeat against Millonarios in Bogotá left them empty-handed.

Junior begins to think about the second semester and is already moving the market in search of reinforcements. But the adjustments to his payroll have already brought about a consequence: one of the team’s starting players will not continue in the institution.

This is the right back Walmer Pacheco, whose contract the club decided not to renew. as reported by the Barranquilla portal Diario Deportes.

In fact, according to the same media, Junior has already gotten the replacement: it is Jhon Ánderson Lerma, who was playing with Atlético Huila in the BetPlay Tournament.

Trained at the now-defunct Uniautónoma, Pacheco, 29, arrived at Junior in mid-2021, from La Equidad. In three years, he played 123 official matches, including all competitions. He scored two goals and contributed five assists. Won a title, the BetPlay League 2023-II

Now, Pacheco is free to negotiate with any club in Colombia or abroad.
