Martín Cauteruccio scored 14 goals in six games for Sporting Cristal in Peru. The 36-year-old striker left Carlos Tévez's Independiente in December 2022.

He was sued by the club for five million dollars for having signed freely. He is now the top scorer in the world in 2024, surpassing Lautaro Martínez and Erling Haaland. The striker's last goal was in July 2023, in a 1-0 draw against Huracán.
