South American Talent in Sight! Villarreal Close to Atleti
Atlético de Madrid continues to bet on young talent and is close to completing the signing of Néiser Villarreal, the sensation of the last South American U-20 Championship.
This promising 20-year-old Colombian forward, who can play on the wing, dazzled in the tournament by scoring eight goals and providing four assists in nine matches, numbers that have not gone unnoticed by the Colchoneros’ sporting direction.
The agreement with Millonarios, his current club, would be finalized for a figure close to six million euros, once the problems with the player’s representation agency have been overcome.
Villarreal would stay at Millonarios until the end of the year to continue his development, a move that is understood by the close collaboration between Atlético de Madrid and the Colombian club.
Although he has not yet opened his scoring account with Millonarios’ first team, where he has added three assists in 21 matches, his potential is undeniable. His arrival at Atlético would represent a future reinforcement for the Rojiblanca attack. With this signing, Atleti is ahead of other suitors such as Vasco de Gama, demonstrating their nose for detecting young promises and their commitment to the growth of South American football through strategic collaborations.
