Athletico defines Canobbio’s destiny, says journalist

The attacker Canobbio would have its destiny defined by the Athletico. According to journalist Wilson Méndez, the Uruguayan would be in agreement with Milan, in Italy.

Athletico has 80% of the player’s rights, the other 20% belongs to Peñarol. According to Méndez, the amount that the Uruguayan club will receive will be 450 thousand euros (R$ 2.8 million). In other words, based on the percentage, the deal could yield Furacão more than R$11 million.

Canobbio arrived at Athletico in 2022

Striker Canobbio arrived at Athletico in March 2022 as the most expensive signing in history. The club paid around R$15.2 million for the player, who has a contract valid until the end of 2026.

After three seasons as a starter for Athletico, Canobbio became the target of major Brazilian clubs in this final stretch of the season, such as Internacional and Palmeiras. In January, Grana tried to sign him on loan, but Furacão refused the deal.

Revealed by Fénix, Canobbio played three seasons at Peñarol before arriving in Curitiba. For Athletico, in three years, there were 141 matches, with 18 goals and 16 assists. In October, the player suffered bone edema in the sacral bone, returned in the last games of the Brasileirão, but was unable to help the club avoid relegation.
