Samuel Lino to join Valencia

Valencia have already secured a new signing, according to 'Marca'. At Mestalla they already have an agreement with Atletico Madrid to strengthen the winger position. The Brazilian Samuel Lino, who will arrive on loan after being left without a place in the 'Colchonero' team, as he is an extra-community player.

Atleti paid 6.5 million euros for him in the current market. The player caught the attention of Cholo Simeone after scoring 25 goals and providing six assists last season with Portuguese side Gil Vicente. In addition, the player from Santo Andre can play on either the right or left wing.

However, the player will not have an easy time at Valencia, as he will find a number of players with a lot of quality in attack. Guedes or the recently incorporated Samu Castillejo, among others, seem to have an advantage, although the former, who could even leave, was used more at the front of the attack. This circumstance forces Lino to compete at the highest level to win a starting place.

For their part, the Valencian side, who will be coached by Gattuso next season, are demanding a very attacking squad, as the new coach has been using a 4-3-3 formation so far in pre-season.
