Cádiz could close the signing of Augusto Fernández in the next few hours. The Argentine midfielder will join the cadista ranks covering the loss due to Luismi Quezada injury, that after suffering a triad the rest of the competition will be lost. The 34-year-old footballer is without a team after finishing his stint in the Chinese League at Bijing Renhe.
Augusto Fernández began his professional career at River, then went through the French League at Saint-Étienne, returned to his homeland to play for Vélez Sarsfield, and arrived in Spain, where He has been a member of Celta de Vigo and Atlético de Madrid. In addition, he has also been international with the Argentina National Team.
His numbers and honors are good, with a Clausura Tournament with Vélez in 2011. At Celta he accumulated a total of 121 matches, scoring 10 goals. However, his time at Atleti was quite traumatic. The first season, 2015-16, he played 13 games, and in the second he suffered a serious injury, a tear of the cruciate ligament clouded the campaign in which he could only participate in three games. His last season in the Madrid team was 2017-18, playing five games.
Cádiz seems to have already found his man after several failed negotiations in recent days. The Argentine is a veteran player who will contribute his experience in midfield, where it seems that Jon Ander Garrido's return does not finish.
