Willder Ditta went from being a rumor to a reality. The central defender left 2022/01/im-not-grateful-to-junior-ivan-rene-valenciano/” title=”"I'm not grateful to Junior": Iván René Valenciano”>Junior de Barranquilla to become a new player for Newell’s Old Boys for 2022. Although there was no charge, if there were a future sale, the Barranquilla players would receive a figure close to 700 thousand dollars at the end of the year.
Ditta will have his first international experience, in the club of which Messi is a fan, moreover, where Diego Maradona himself had a fleeting step. In the history of lepers, some Colombians stand out, with an ephemeral step and others who are more remembered.
One of those who posed with the leper was Carlos Valderrrama himself, who was a club player for a day. The event occurred in 1995, when he arrived as the brand new reinforcement, with a verbal agreement already agreed to disembark in Argentina. Upon arrival, he waited for his contract advance, which never came.
Faced with this situation, the legendary 10 preferred to take his bags and return to Colombia.
In total, there are nine soccer players born in the national territory who have worn the red and black of Newell’s. Of those, three were in the same cycle. This is the case of Jorge Bermúdez, Jairo Patiño and Julián Vásquez, who were between 2003 and 2004.
Another of the Colombians who passed unnoticed in the leper was Mauricio Chalar. The man from Tulu was in 2007, but without major significance, leaving the club that same year, returning to Colombia to Bucaramanga.
Juan Guillermo Domínguez also had his time at Newell’s, when he was part of the club in 2012. He barely played nine league games, leaving that same year for Colo Colo from Chile.
William Vásquez was also in Argentina, but with little success. In 2002 he arrived at Newell’s, it didn’t last long and ended up at Medellín. Carmelo Valencia was also without much relevance there, between 2011 and 2012, barely playing nine games and scoring one goal.
Last year he was for Newell’s Pablo Sabbag, barely playing six games, without scoring.
