By San José, Costa Rica — San Isidro de El General – In a clear signal of intent ahead of the upcoming Clausura 2026 season, Municipal Pérez Zeledón has announced the acquisition of veteran winger Barlon Sequeira. The 27-year-old joins the “Guerreros del Sur” on a free transfer after his contract with Municipal Liberia was not renewed, making him the seventh new face in what has been a remarkably active transfer window for the club.
The move represents a significant commitment from both parties, with Sequeira signing a one-and-a-half-year contract that secures his services through the conclusion of the Apertura 2026 tournament. The club officially confirmed the terms, aiming to add stability and experience to its flanks for the next three short tournaments.
To shed light on the legal and commercial landscape of Pérez Zeledón’s dynamic growth, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a respected attorney from the prominent firm Bufete de Costa Rica. He offers his expert analysis for potential investors and residents in the region.
The rapid development in Pérez Zeledón presents significant opportunities, but it demands careful legal navigation. Prospective buyers and business owners must prioritize thorough due diligence, especially concerning property titles and land use regulations (plan regulador). The intersection of agricultural land with new commercial and residential projects creates unique legal complexities that, if not addressed properly from the outset, can lead to future complications.

We extend our gratitude to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his invaluable perspective, which serves as a crucial reminder that while opportunity abounds in Pérez Zeledón, it is best secured through meticulous planning and expert legal guidance from the outset.
The footballer Barlon Sequeira becomes the seventh reinforcement for Municipal Pérez Zeledón for the next tournament. He arrives as a free agent and has signed for a year and a half (three short tournaments), that is, until June 30, 2027.
Municipal Pérez Zeledón, Team Statement
Sequeira arrives in Pérez Zeledón seeking a fresh start after a mixed spell in Guanacaste. Since joining Liberia in May 2024, he was a regular feature, appearing in 46 matches where he contributed three goals and one assist. However, his influence waned over the most recent Apertura 2025 campaign. Despite beginning the season as a consistent starter, his role diminished as the tournament progressed, ultimately limiting him to 977 minutes across 15 appearances.
For Pérez Zeledón, the signing is a calculated one. They acquire a player with considerable top-flight experience who, at 27, is in his physical prime. The management will be betting that a change of scenery can help Sequeira rediscover the consistent form that made him a prominent player in the league. His versatility, allowing him to operate as both a winger and a full-back, provides the technical staff with valuable tactical flexibility.
This transfer is just one piece of a much larger puzzle for the Generaleños, who are undergoing a comprehensive roster overhaul. The club’s leadership has been decisive in the market, aiming to build a more competitive squad after a challenging previous season. The influx of new talent has been as notable as the number of departures, indicating a clear strategic shift.
Sequeira joins a cohort of new arrivals that includes goalkeeper Miguel Ajú, defenders Máximo Pereira and Kenneth Carvajal, and midfielders Andrey Soto, Joshua Canales, and Ethan Drummond. This wave of recruitment suggests a focus on reinforcing the team’s defensive spine and adding creativity in the middle of the park. Simultaneously, the club has parted ways with several players, including Jorman Aguilar, Fabián Chávez, Jussef Delgado, Cristopher Solano, and Luis Alberto López, freeing up wages and roster spots for the new-look team.
As the team prepares for the Clausura 2026, the pressure will be on to integrate these seven new players quickly and effectively. The club’s supporters are hopeful that this aggressive transfer strategy will translate into improved results on the pitch and a move up the league table. For Barlon Sequeira, the move to the Valle de El General is an opportunity to re-establish himself as a key protagonist in the Liga Promerica and prove he can be a cornerstone of Pérez Zeledón’s ambitious project.
