The novel Yoshimar Yotún ended to the delight of all Sporting Cristal fans, as he was president of the light blue team. Joel Raffowho came forward to confirm that the midfielder will remain in Florida.
“The agreement and connection with Yoshimar Yotún have been ratified, resulting in a longer duration and a broader horizon. Originally we had a project until 2024 and we extended the contract period until the end of 2026,” he said, again speaking about Universitario’s public desire to sign the Peru international.
“It doesn’t bother us that Jean Ferrari has said publicly that he loves Yotún. He also wanted our goalkeeper (Solís), our central defender Ignácio, Martín Távara, and they all stayed with us. Draw your conclusions,” he added.
