Emilio Saba

He has played over 75 games in the Peruvian Primera División for Melgar, Deportivo Municipal, UTC Cajamarca, ADT and Carlos A. Mannucci.

[1] When Esther Grande manager Marco Valencia moved to Melgar in 2019, he signed Saba, who helped the reserve team to third place that year.

[2] When the Torneo de Promoción y Reserva was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Saba was added to the first team and made his professional debut in the Peruvian Primera División on 27 August in a 2–0 home loss to Carlos Stein, playing the last 25 minutes as a substitute for Diego Manicero.

[4] For the following two years he also moved temporarily, respectively to UTC Cajamarca and ADT; with the latter, he played 28 games in 2023 as they qualified for the Copa Sudamericana for the first time.

They did play training matches against other age groups of the Peruvian Football Federation, and these led to him preferring a right-back position.
