Darío Sits bolsters Madrileño’s attack | OneFootball

While Atlético Madrileño continues its preparation for the opening day against Atlético Sanluqueño next Monday at 19:30 in Alcalá de Henares, Fernando Torres receives a gift in the form of a signing he so desperately needed due to the deficiencies in the squad.

The Diario AS, with the help of Jorge García, announced the interest, and your server at Atlético Sport confirmed that the Niño would have a new forward: Darío Sits is a new red and white player after the agreement between Atlético de Madrid and Parma for the loan of the 21-year-old Latvian striker. He will be on loan for one season and, for now, it is unknown if there is any kind of purchase option.

A native of Kuldiga (Latvia), Darío Sits is a 21-year-old left-footed centre forward who stands 1.89 meters tall. He is corpulent, with a good stride and positioning in the box, and has experienced a real roller coaster of emotions in recent years. He tore his cruciate ligament two seasons ago while on loan at SPAL (Serie C in Italy) in his only match with the 'biancazzurri'. A long and tedious recovery, but one that ended well. He was loaned out last year to Helmond Sport in the Eerste Divisie (Dutch second division) and, in just 1,400 minutes, managed to score 6 goals and provide 3 assists, which equates to a goal generated every 157 minutes.

On top of that, he has been and is an international player for his country in both junior and senior categories, scoring an away goal in the 1-1 draw against the Faroe Islands in the Nations League back in October 2024, and another against Andorra in the qualification phase for the 2026 World Cup. Now, he arrives at the reserve team to bolster the forward line that was occupied by Omar Janneh and no one else, regardless of the participation of Sergio Esteban and Miguel Cubo in the preseason.
