Nicolás Schiappacase, 17-year-old forward, joins as a guest the pre-season of the first team of Atlético de Madrid with the authorisation of his club, the Uruguayan River Plate.

The Croatian footballer gives the leap to LaLiga after play for three seasons in the Italian Serie A with Genoa and Sassuolo. His professional career began in his native country with Lokomotiva and soon afterwards in Dinamo Zagreb.

The right winger was very happy on the day of his presentation as Atlético’s new player.

The Croatian international now knows his new home, the Vicente Calderón, and has posed for the first time with the red and white kit.

The French international, Best Player and Golden Boot of the Euro 2016, has made the list of the 10 most voted players to win UEFA's Best Player in Europe award of 2015/2016.

The surgical team that operated on the player was formed by the doctors Fernando García de Lucas and José Maria Abad Morenilla.

Access for the public will be through gate 51 starting at 12:45.

We will start and finish the Championship at home. The draw for the next League calendar has provided that we open it at the Calderón against the newly promoted Alavés.

Atlético’s player from the ranks will change his number for the 2016/2017 season. Saúl will wear the number 8, leaving 17 behind, a number with which he has played the two last seasons.

Atlético’s striker answered the media in the presentation of the Colombian and Diogo Jota in the VIP lounge.
