Westerlo have sold Josimar Alcocer to Sparta Prague. The 21-year-old Costa Rican international has played three seasons for Westerlo and is now sold for a fee of around €3m.

What happened?

Westerlo have confirmed the transfer of Alcocer and the player has signed a contract until 2030 with Sparta Prague.

Why is this important for Westerlo?

The sale of Alcocer is a nice profit for Westerlo, which bought the player three years ago for €1m. The club can use this money to attract new players.

What comes next?

Sparta Prague gets a player who has a lot of potential, but is not yet consistent enough. Alcocer scored three goals and provided four assists in 36 games in his last season with Westerlo.

The Costa Rican international has played 34 games for Costa Rica since his debut in 2023, scoring seven goals and providing three assists. He will be a good attacker for Sparta Prague who can score and beat his man.
