Who is Fabrizzio Lora, the promise of Rímac that Cristal seeks to secure for three years?

One of the main projects that Sporting Cristal manages in the sports field is to nurture its first team with players from its lower divisions. It is not enough for them that Tiago Nunes' team currently has more than 50% of Rimense DNA. They want more. As part of this ambitious goal, the Celeste leadership is closing negotiations for Fabrizzio Lora to sign his first professional contract and ensure his stay for the next three years.

Currently, Fabrizzio is part of Sporting Cristal's U18 team, where he has stood out for his technical ability, vision of the game, and his ability to reach the final third. His talent has not gone unnoticed, and he has been called up by Chemo del Solar to join the microcycles of the Peruvian U20 National Team.

The left-back, brother of Jhilmar, arrived at the club in the 2021 season, coming from Academia Cantolao. After several months of monitoring, the scouting team presented a detailed report on how important it would be to have a player with Lora's qualities.

What is the future of Jhilmar?

While one Lora secures his stay in La Florida, the other seems to be packing his bags in the coming months. And it seems that Jhilmar will not renew his contract with Sporting Cristal, which expires at the end of the year. Especially because there is more than one foreign team that has him in sight.

There are clubs in Liga MX and the MLS that have been closely following the 22-year-old right-back's performance for months. However, there is still no concrete offer that has reached the offices of Rímac. Undoubtedly, both leagues are very attractive for the player, especially the North American one, where he could further refine his game to reach Europe.

According to Transfermarkt, Lora's market value is 800 thousand euros, making him the third most expensive player in Cristal and the ninth in the entire Liga 1. During the last year, his market value grew by 60%. Even more so for his outstanding performances in phase 2 and 3 of the Copa Libertadores, where he even scored a memorable goal against Nacional de Asunción.
