Nico Rodríguez: The Colchoneros Secure Their Future
Great news for Atlético fans! Atlético de Madrid has secured one of the jewels of its youth academy, the talented Spanish-Uruguayan midfielder Nico Rodríguez. Trained in the Academy since 2019, Nico has signed his first professional contract, consolidating his commitment to the club of his dreams.
The young midfielder, currently in the Cadete A, did not hide his enthusiasm after signing: ‘Since I was little I dreamed of this, of signing a professional contract with Atleti’. His objective is clear: ’to continue climbing steps at Atlético de Madrid’.
Nico Rodríguez stands out for his versatility, handling of both legs and a privileged vision of the game. With a powerful ball strike, this offensive midfielder knows who he admires: Pablo Barrios, a mirror to look into.
Koke is also a reference for him, and he dreams of a successful career at Atleti like the captain’s. Although he was recently concentrated with the Uruguay U-17 National Team, his young age (16 years old) prevented him from playing in the South American Championship. However, his potential is undeniable, and Atlético de Madrid is betting heavily on his development. A bright future awaits Nico Rodríguez at the Metropolitano!
