Atlético officially unveil Mateo Cassierra, club’s latest signing | OneFootball

Atlético officially announced this Friday (23) the signing of Colombian forward Mateo Cassierra, 28 years old. The announcement was made through the club's social media, confirming the player's contract with Galo for four seasons.

In the video released by Alvinegro, Cassierra sent his first message to the Atlético fans, already showing excitement for the new challenge:

"Hi Galo Nation, I have arrived! I really want to be at the Arena with you. Here is Galo!", said the forward.

Officially announced today, Cassierra is expected to be available to coach Jorge Sampaoli for Atlético's debut in the Brazilian Championship. Galo's first match in the competition will be next Wednesday (28), against Palmeiras, at Arena MRV. Before that, in this Sunday's derby against Cruzeiro, the Colombian is expected to be present at the stadium, watching the match from a box.

After the derby against América, Sampaoli even commented on the characteristics of the new signing. The Argentine coach highlighted Cassierra's versatility in the offensive sector and projected his adaptation to the squad:

The arrival of Mateo Cassierra strengthens Atlético's offensive sector for the remainder of the season and increases Sampaoli's options, who seeks more firepower for Galo in competitions. Since the departure of Deyverson, the club did not have a player who could play more centrally in the area, as João Marcelo, signed in 2025, did not please coaches Cuca and Sampaoli.
