Defender trained in Atlético’s youth ranks arrived in Portugal this Wednesday (30/7) to sign a loan contract
Twenty-one-year-old defender Rômulo arrived in Lisbon, Portugal, this Wednesday morning (July 30th), where he will undergo medical examinations and sign a season-long loan deal with Sporting.
The reigning Portuguese champions will have an option to buy him at the end of this period. Rômulo had already attracted interest from Sporting and Santa Clara, also from Portugal. However, the athlete’s staff felt it was best to wait for a more attractive offer.
In recent days, negotiations have progressed with Sporting, the reigning champions of the Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese Championship. As a result, the defender was left out of Atlético’s squad for the match against Flamengo last Sunday (July 27th) at Maracanã, in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship.
