# Why 'Polesye' Failed to Sign a Peru National Team Star: Details of the Failed Transfer

The Zhytomyr football club 'Polesye' carried out extensive work to strengthen its squad, but ultimately ended up without one of the most promising candidates for reinforcement. The player in question is 24-year-old defensive midfielder Erick Noriega, who plays for the Brazilian club 'Gremio' and the Peru national team.

Negotiations between the parties had progressed quite far, but the contract signing never took place. The main reason for the deal falling through was the uncertainty of the player himself, who took too long to give a final answer to the Ukrainian club's offer.

### In-depth Detail Work

According to insider Mikhail Spivakovskiy, published on the YouTube channel 'TaToTake', the transfer process was of the most serious nature. This was not superficial interest from the managers: the negotiations evolved into a detailed discussion of tactical nuances.

A direct personal conversation took place between Erick Noriega and the head coach of 'Polesye', Ruslan Rotan. During the conversation, the specific role of the Peruvian in the Zhytomyr team's playing schemes was discussed, which indicated the club's readiness to integrate the player into the main squad.

### Reason for Failure

Despite the interest and the preparatory work done, the transfer was put on hold. The club had to wait too long for Noriega's final verdict. The prolonged negotiation process led to the fact that the deal was never legally formalized.

Thus, 'Polesye' is forced to look for other options for reinforcement, while fans' attention shifts to other transfers in Ukrainian football, such as the recent strengthening of LNZ by an 'Everton' graduate before the start of the Conference League.
