What a journey it’s been for the Catalan winger.
Atlético Madrid midfielder Arnau Ortiz has signed a first-team contract, taking over the No. 16 shirt from former full-back Nahuel Molina after Molina's departure to AS Roma. The 24-year-old was a standout player in the preseason, scoring twice and assisting another goal in four friendlies. His impressive performances led to his first appearance in LaLiga.
