The outstanding youth defender will leave the club, which will cause problems when planning the second half of the season
Santiago Mouriño was one of the great signings Real Zaragoza could have made. It was one of the moves that Juan Carlos Cordero made in the last market and that began to shine despite his youth. Now suddenly everything has changed and La Romareda players are worried about the future of the central defender.
Let's remember this Santiago Mouriño's loan deal with Zaragoza runs until summer 2024. Although the bosses' idea is nothing other than to keep the footballer on loan, this has suddenly become complicated. It has everything to do with his home club, Atlético de Madrid.
Real Zaragoza may lose Santiago Mouriño and will have to search the market for a defender
In this way it is certain that the Colchoneros will request their footballer for the second round. The problems the team is having in the back quartet are quite significant and it is already giving Cholo Simeone a headache. Therefore, one of the solutions that has been put on the table is to bring the Uruguayan back.
In this order, Mouriño's eventual departure will leave Real Zaragoza in trouble, forcing them to look for a centre-back in this winter market. The Colchoneros will lose César Azpilicueta and that has forced them to look for alternatives. With the research done, it is best to pick up some of their loans.
Atletico need a defender and have considered bringing back their young star
Therefore, the club from La Romareda is now starting to examine alternatives in the event of the Uruguayan's loss. Without a doubt there will be a significant decline for everything he has contributed and grown in the environment. The Rojiblancos saw this best and were happy with their defender's performance.
Then we have to wait and see what will happen with this movement. Zaragoza is currently unsure about the future of the young Uruguayan star. It is one of the names they treasure for the rest of their studies as it has given them security and assertiveness in a key area.
