Werder Bremen

A SV Werder Bremen scout spotted Mosquera at the South American U-17 Championship, and signed him in January 2006 until summer 2009, [cite web|url=http://www.werder.de/aktuelles/presseschau/presse_text.php?id=8190|title=Mosquera not coming back|date=2006-05-29|work=werder.de|language=German] but Mosquera was immediately loaned to Danish Superliga side SønderjyskE [cite web|url=http://www.soenderjyske.dk/page.asp?objectid=2534&zcs=11|title=Werder Bremen-talent på plads i SønderjyskE|date=2006-01-31|work=soenderjyske.dk|language=Danish] and then SV Wacker Burghausen, in the German second division.

Mosquera had a trial at FC Carl Zeiss Jena in summer 2007, but an heart attack made the trial fail.
