The announcement, accompanied by a photo from the club’s official channels, confirms the transfer of the Uruguayan defender.

His success was marked by significant team achievements, including three La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey wins, and three Supercopas de la Liga titles. He also served as one of the team’s captains.
