Erick Delgado, one of the best goalkeepers our national soccer had in recent years.

However, one of the things that many wonder is why he never played abroad, given that he was one of the references of Sporting Cristal and played for the Peruvian national team.

However, the former footballer himself mentioned that he had a chance to dazzle abroad, specifically in two clubs: Boca Juniors and Botafogo from Brazil.

Why didn't he play for the Xeneizes? Well, the former goalkeeper revealed that the approach he had to join the Argentine team was through a representative who was a friend of the Sporting Cristal physical trainer, but he decided not to join Boca Juniors because he would have to fight for the position.

"I almost went to Boca Juniors and that was arranged by a representative who was a friend of the physical trainer that Sporting Cristal had at that time, and I even went to Buenos Aires. The opportunity with Boca was there, but it was more about fighting for a position," he said to Trome.

The shocking reason why he didn't play for Botafogo

Regarding Botafogo, Delgado explained that the approach came thanks to Paulo Autori's representative. However, he mentioned that his arrival did not happen because he suffered a ligament injury and his transfer became complicated.
