Another loss in the team coached by Diego Pablo Simeone , it seemed that he was going to go to Getafe , but in the end it was not, his destination is Vitoria . Atlético de Madrid and Deportivo Alavés have reached an agreement for the incorporation of Santiago Mouriño to the Babazorro club. The Uruguayan footballer leaves the colchonera discipline a year after his arrival and goes to do his military service with Luis García Plaza .
He will play as a transfer for the blue and white team, and the red and whites have an option to buy back the Uruguayan centre-back. The Madrid coach, Luis García Plaza , is once again fishing at Atlético de Madrid . The relationship that the manager has with the red and white team comes from the time when he was a youth player at the Colchonero club.
For this reason, another interesting player from the team coached by Diego Pablo Simeone has now arrived. Santiago Mouriño joins a very good defense, with great potential, trained in the Club Nacional de Football youth academy, with whom he was champion of the U-20 Copa Libertadores. He signed for Racing Club de Montevideo , where he achieved promotion to the first division of Uruguayan football.
Victor Fernandez put him as a full-back
Atlético de Madrid took him to Spain , and last summer he signed a five-year contract with the red-and-whites . The decision was to watch him in pre-season and then decide what to do with him, so he was loaned to Real Zaragoza . It was a good decision, as the player learned some very interesting defensive aspects with Víctor Fernández .
Atlético de Madrid 's defence is supported by José María Giménez, his compatriot, and the new arrival Robin Le Normand . These two form the back line of the red-and-white team and that gives Santiago Mouriño few options. During this matchday, the colchonero team also made official the arrival of Clément Lenglet , the centre-back who comes from FC Barcelona , and joins Axel Witsel and César Azpilicueta .
He will play for Alavés
Another of his big problems is that he is a non-EU player, and although attempts have been made to stop him from being one before LaLiga , it is impossible. The bet is on Deportivo Alavés , where he will coincide with Carlos Martín again and with Carlos Benavídez , his compatriot. They know each other from playing in the lower categories of the Uruguay national team.
In the Uruguayan country they have reported that the agreement is closed for 2 million euros and a buyback in favor of the team headed by Enrique Cerezo . Atlético de Madrid will maintain control over Santiago Mouriño , a player who they believe will be part of the team in the future since they trust in his conditions.
Santiago Mouriño will be official in the next few hours and is already travelling to Vitoria to undergo a medical with Deportivo Alavés . He could be at the disposal of Luis García Plaza for the next match at the Reale Arena against Real Sociedad, but he will arrive very just
