In the last hour of the winter transfer market, Atlético de Madrid has officially announced the signing of Rodrigo Mendoza from Elche. Following the addition of Ademola Lookman and Obed Vargas, the Spanish under-21 international arrives from Elche and signs as a new rojiblanco player for the next five and a half seasons, until 2031. The deal for the midfielder was finalized in the last hours, after the signing of Marcos Leonardo fell through.
Mendoza signs with Atlético de Madrid to stay and earn a spot in the midfield. He was not the player expected throughout the winter market, but he is an option for both the present and the future. To date, in the First Division, he has played 16 matches (791′) and scored one goal.
