Mourino on joining Atletico: "I still can't believe it"

The transfer market is not looking too promising for Atletico Madrid. The Spanish team are once again bound hand and foot again in terms of the number of new signings. That is to say, they have to let some players leave in order to let others come in.

However, one of those who could be confirmed in the coming days is Santiago Mourino, who confirmed his arrival in an interview for 'Sport890': "I'm 21 years old, I still can't believe I'm going to a top team like Atletico. I'm staying in Montevideo until the 4th of July, then I'll travel to Spain, I've been in contact with Ortega and I'm working on the plan he gave me to train before the pre-season. I spoke to Josema Gimenez, he put himself at my disposal for everything I need, I value this gesture very much".

And he did not hesitate to praise his compatriot Jose Maria Gimenez: "It was a unique experience, I enjoyed the day-to-day with my team-mates in training, that experience will stay with me for the rest of my life. Now I'm focused on Atletico so I can come back.

"I'm going to do pre-season with the team and then they'll tell me. For now I don't know anything, I know that I have to go and do pre-season and then they will evaluate me," concluded the Uruguayan centre-back.
