Mark Paulo, new signing of
Atlético de Madrid
, is already in the capital of Spain. The Brazilian player flew from Portugal, where he has spent a few days on vacation, to take the last steps towards the official status of his signing.
The player will pass a medical examination at the beginning of this next week, will visit the Wanda Metropolitano, will carry out the pertinent round of interviews and photos for the rojiblanco club. The player will start the preseason under the orders of Diego Simeone next July 7. It will be the only new face at the beginning of the preparation.
The Brazilian player, 20 years old and signed free after the attacker ended contract with Fluminense
. Just a few days ago, the player shared a message on social media. “Batteries recharged! Prepared for what is coming ”, he pointed out. Now, the player shared an image assembled the plane with the flags of Portugal to Spain.
We are talking about a footballer who is not a forward, that is the first thing to clarify. Although he can function as a second striker, he is a left winger who can also play in the right lane. Fast, cheeky, overflowing.
His numbers in the last season are tremendous and that he was apart for a long time. No less than 65 games in which he scored 11 goals and gave 10 assists.
In addition, something that adds a lot. He has a Portuguese passport so he will not be a foreigner. In fact, he is international in the lower categories of the Portuguese national team despite having been born in Brazil. If he continues to evolve, he could very possibly end up choosing which team he will play for, Brazil or very surely Portugal.
