Piero Aldair Quispe Córdova (born 14 August 2001) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga MX club UNAM and the Peru national team.
Club career
Universitario de Deportes
A youth product of CD Hector Chumpitaz, Quispe moved to the youth academy of Universitario de Deportes in 2017 and was later promoted to the club reserves in 2019, scoring three goals in the 2019 Torneo de Promoción y Reserva. He began his senior career with Universitario in 2021, playing in the Peruvian Liga 1[1] and making his professional debut in March in matchday 2, in a 1–3 defeat against Academia Cantolao. In July 2021, Quispe scored his first professional goal with la U in matchday 1 of Liga 1's Fase 2 in a 2–2 tie against Alianza Atlético. Following an injury to teammate Hernán Novick after the Peruvian Clásico against Alianza Lima, manager Gregorio Pérez gave him an opportunity, and he stood out in a 4–0 victory against Alianza Universidad and scored his second professional goal playing as a starter in the next match, a 3–1 victory against Sport Huancayo. Quispe played in the second qualifying stage of the 2022 Copa Libertadores with Universitario against Barcelona de Guayaquil, but the team ended up losing both home and away matches and was eliminated from the tournament. In April 2022, he signed a contract tying him with the club until 2025.[2]
The next season, in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana first stage match against Cienciano, Quispe scored the first goal in a 2–0 victory which allowed los cremas to proceed to the group stage of the tournament.[3] He played a leading role in said group stage and scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory against Gimnasia de La Plata in the last matchday;[4] this triumph made Universitario reach a total of 10 points and advance to the knockout round play-offs.[5] In October 2023, after a 2–0 victory against Sport Huancayo, Universtario won the Clausura phase of the 2023 Liga 1, with Quispe being chosen as the best player of said phase.[6] In November, the team won the national title after defeating Alianza Lima 3–1 on aggregate in the finals. In December, he was chosen as the best player of the season amid rumours of his departure from both Universitario and the Liga 1.[7]
UNAM
On 27 December 2023, Mexican club UNAM announced the signing of Quispe on a permanent deal, starting from the 2024 Clausura season.[8]
International career
Quispe debuted with the Peru national team in a 1–0 friendly win over Bolivia on 19 November 2022.[9] In November 2023, he played his first official match against Bolivia in a 0–2 away defeat, being considered one of the few Peruvian players that stood out.[10] He would score his first international goal in a friendly against the Dominican Republic.[11]
