Mouriño completed his big week with the call from Uruguay

Of course, the last few days have been intense for Santiago Mourino. The 21-year-old Uruguayan central defender is undergoing some changes that will surely mark his career. If last week, Diego Pablo Simeone confirmed his signing for the Atletico Madrida few hours later he received his first call with Uruguay.

Despite the fact that the press had already revealed his hiring, it was the Cholo in the Cope the one who officially recognized him and incidentally commented on what will happen to his future in the short term: “He is a youth, we are going to see him in the preseason to see how he responds. We have heard very good things about him. He has good expectations. You have to watch because the preseason always helps us to see”.

So this summer he will be under the orders of Simeone, then it will be decided if he stays or leaves. Everything will depend on the movements that there are and the needs that the Argentine coach has on the table.

Clearly it seems a case similar to that of Josema Gimenez, who is now one of the team captains. But on his day he arrived at the age of 18 and in his first season he only played two games. But that year he prepared himself to gradually begin to dispute the position of miranda to gain a place in the eleven with Godin.

The other great news you received yesterday Santiago Mourino was the call for Uruguay. Marcelo Bielsa has made a list full of young people and with quite significant absences such as that of Gimenez, Valverde either Darwin Nunez. His intention is to get to know first-hand the new Charrúa generations in the friendlies that they will play against Nicaragua and Cuba.

A list in which the central defender that this campaign has played in did not appear in the first instance Montevideo Racingbut for which he has been summoned to fill the position of put who was injured in the U-20 World Cup. So he will have a new adventure to continue learning first-hand about elite football. First to the Uruguayan National Team and then to the Atletico Madrid. In his case, July 10, which will be the date on which players who have commitments to their national teams join.
