Piero Quispe Heads to Australia for Sydney FC Loan, Backing A‑League’s Competitiveness

He says he skipped Peru duty because his club future was unresolved.

Overview

  • The 24-year-old departed Lima to join Sydney FC after Pumas UNAM agreed to a loan move.
  • Quispe said many underestimate Australian football and described the A‑League as competitive, which he cited as a key reason for his choice.
  • He noted he receives criticism but takes it positively and will use it as motivation.
  • He explained he discussed his situation with coach Óscar Ibáñez and stayed out of Peru’s latest squad because he was not fully focused while his next club was being decided.
  • RPP reports he will wear the No. 7 for Sydney FC, with local media suggesting a possible A‑League debut on October 17 against Adelaide United, a date that remains unconfirmed.
