Diego Estrada (footballer)
Diego Alonso Estrada Valverde (born 25 May 1989) is a Costa Rican footballer who plays for Guadalupe. Club career
Estrada began his professional career at Costa Rican club Alajuelense. His good performances with Costa Rican U-20 team lead to transfer interest from Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.

He then went to Spain to play for Zaragoza in 2011, but only in May 2014 FIFA condemned the Spanish club to pay Alajuelense 486,000 euros for Estrada. He played for Comunicaciones from Guatemala during 2012 and has signed a one-year contract to play for Deportivo Saprissa from Costa Rica starting 2013.

Estrada then went on to become yet again the key player in his side's campaign at the FIFA U-20 World Cup where they narrowly lost to Brazil national football team in the semi-finals.
