Puma Carranza Says 2024 Photo With ‘Chemo’ del Solar Was Staged, Not a Reconciliation

He details the brief greeting caught on camera as a publicity moment, not a renewed friendship.

Overview

  • In an interview on the streaming program Entre Ceja y Ceja, Carranza called the embrace “for the cameras” and said there is nothing to recover.
  • He recounted leaving after the match to sign paperwork when del Solar approached to greet him, adding he prefers not to share further details.
  • The image that fueled reunion rumors dates to 2024 after a Universitario win over Sport Boys during centenary-related coverage.
  • Carranza described del Solar as sometimes “cold,” which he attributes to the latter’s European career, while noting they had been close since youth.
  • He said he remains close with ex-teammates such as Roberto Martínez, Puchungo, Cuto, Grondona and Loco Vargas, declared he has nothing to discuss with Óscar Ibáñez, and praised Juan Reynoso as Peru’s best coach.
