MADRID, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Villarreal has signed Uruguayan central defender Santiago Mourino from Atletico Madrid after a complicated operation which also involved Alaves.

当地时间7月24日，马德里竞技国际球迷协会（Unión Internacional de Peñas Atlético de Madrid）联合“烟雾信号协会”对欧足联及其主席亚历山大-切费林提起刑事诉讼，指控其涉嫌犯有伪造文件罪。

Atletico will pay an initial 12 million euros for the defender who also won an Olympic gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Pubill has signed a five-year contract until 2030.
