Who is Alfredo Morelos, Atlético Nacional’s new player?
Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos, 28, was announced this Thursday as a new player for Atlético Nacional, where he arrives on loan from Brazilian side Santos. Morelos thus returns to his country’s football after eight years.
The green-and-white club from Medellín made the signing of the attacker official through a video published on its social networks along with the message “the scorer has arrived” and without specifying the details of his connection for the second half of 2024.
Before the announcement of the Colombian King of Cups, Santos had anticipated that “the loan of the striker Morelos to Atlético Nacional, of Colombia”, with a message in which he specified that the striker will be on loan to the Colombian team “until the end of the season”.
‘El Búfalo’, as he is known in his country, began his career at Deportivo Independiente de Medellín, a rival of his new team, and in 2016 he made the leap to European football as a player for HJK Helsinki.
The striker also wore the shirt of Scottish side Rangers, with whom he won the Scottish League and Cup, was in the orbit of several European clubs and played in the final of the Europa League in 2022, which he lost to German side Eintracht.
Morelos, who has a reputation for being a rebel on and off the pitch, joined Santos in September 2023 as a free agent after finishing his time in Scotland, where he shone for six years at Rangers.
The 28-year-old striker, who has been called up to the Colombian national team on a sporadic basis, has become one of the main signings for Atlético Nacional, led by Uruguayan coach Pablo Repetto, who also endorsed the arrival of goalkeeper David Ospina, defender William Tesillo and midfielders Jorman Campuzano and Edwin Cardona.
