Piero Quispe returns to Universitario de Deportes

Universitario de Deportes announced the official signing of midfielder Piero Quispe on a two‑year contract with a release clause for a possible move abroad. The 2023 national champion and Liga 1 Best Player will rejoin the club for the Torneo Clausura 2026, aiming to become a key element in Héctor Cúper’s tactical setup.

Quispe, who spent the previous two and a half years with Pumas UNAM in Mexico and Sydney FC in Australia, expressed his enthusiasm with the phrase “Grande hay uno solo.” The club also indicated that it continues to search for a left‑back, potentially from Argentina, Uruguay or Panama, to complete its reinforcement plans.

The move is viewed by supporters as a homecoming for the player who rose through Universitario’s youth ranks and contributed significantly to the 2023 championship season.
