Sporting Cristal is still in search of that striker who can make us forget Emanuel Herrera, but for the 2021 season there was one who came close to following in his footsteps.
YOU CAN SEE: Juan Sánchez, from Sporting Cristal, shined with an amazing goal for Ecuador in the Odesur Games.
He didn't reach the 40-goal mark like the Argentine, but he scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists in the 26 matches he played as a blue in the Liga 1, Copa Bicentenario, and Copa Libertadores.
Marcos Riquelme is who we are talking about. The '9' now stands out in Bolivia, where he plays for Always Ready, and currently has 23 goals, a figure that has placed him in the top 40 of the world's leading goalscorers.
The forward shares this distinction with world-class players like Kylian Mbappé from PSG and the French National Team (38 goals), as well as Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona and Poland's striker (33 goals), Erling Haaland (33 goals), Neymar (26 goals), among others. This information was shared by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).
How much is Marcos Riquelme worth?
Marcos Riquelme is valued at 400,000 euros, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt. His highest value was 800,000 euros in the 2020 season, when he played for Bolívar.
