The 18-year-old Juan Riquelme Angulo, who made his professional debut this season and quickly caught the attention of European football, has left Del Valle to join Sunderland. Angulo played 21 games in 2026, scoring six goals and providing three assists. The move was announced by Sunderland on the last day of the English transfer window. As a result, Angulo will not be available for Del Valle's Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo. Despite this loss, Del Valle still has its top scorer in the continental competition, Paraguayan Carlos González, who has scored seven goals in the Libertadores.
