"Atletico" club strengthened by fullback C.Ansaldi

The Madrid club "Atletico" continues to actively work in the player market. It was announced on the official website that the team has added full-back Cristian Ansaldi with a long-term lease agreement.

The 27-year-old footballer previously wore the jersey of St. Petersburg's "Zenit", but "Rojiblancos" managed to attract the Argentinean, who will make the Spanish champions even more competitive.

"Ansaldi is a player who will help the team become even more competitive," said "Atletico" sports director Jose Luis Perez Caminero. "He can play on both sides of defense. This player is reliable in defense and can attack well."

"He brings even more versatility to the team, so we are very happy to see him in Madrid," concluded one of the club executives.

In the "Zenit" club, C. Ansaldi played only one season when he decided to part ways with Kazan's "Rubin" after five years.
