, and won a place on his team and among the hearts of Deportivo Saprissa fans due to his hard work on the field, his quickness, scoring skills and most of all his talent for creating assists.

With Saprissa he won two national championships, as well as an UNCAF Cup title and a CONCACAF Champions Cup title. After the Clausura 2007 tournament, he signed with Italian businessman Matteo Quintavalle, which meant his departure from the team, seeing as Quintavalle is not a FIFA-licensed player's agent, and Saprissa would not negotiate with him. Quintavalle was accused of fraud, and Alemán left Quintavalle (after a breach of contract by Quintavalle), and signed with Puntarenas F.C. on his own. 5 days before the transfer window closed, Aleman signed with Liberia Mia, but was allowed to play 2 more matches with Puntareanas against Saprissa, one of them for the UNCAF Cup Semifinals. Later he sign with Brujas but in January 2010, he sign back with Saprissa.
