Erick Noriega: Contact with Sporting Lisbon and European Clubs, Will Gremio Retain Him?

The representative of Erick Noriega, Guillermo Zariquiey, confirmed that interest in the Gremio player comes from several European clubs, including Sporting Lisbon. In recent statements, Zariquiey assured that discussions with the Portuguese club have taken place, but no negotiations have been finalized. “It is normal for a player like Erick to be on the radar of many European teams. However, that does not mean he will be signed,” he explained on the program ‘Sin TV’. The agent also recalled that there was interest from Atalanta, but it did not materialize due to the selling needs of other clubs.

At just 24 years old, Noriega has excelled at Gremio and with the Peruvian national team, which has increased his market value. Zariquiey indicated that for Gremio to consider his departure, a comprehensive proposal must be presented that includes footballing, financial, and personal growth, estimating that the transaction amount would not be less than 8 to 10 million euros. Alianza Lima, which holds 20% of a potential sale, could receive around 2 million euros, according to current projections.
