Diego Godín traveled to Brazil on Monday to negotiate the termination of his contract with Atlético Mineiro, in order to finalize his arrival at Vélez Sarsfield afterwards, sources close to the player told ESPN.
The captain of the Uruguayan National Team is already in talks with the sports manager of the Fortín, and when he manages to end his relationship with the Belo Horizonte team, he will fly to Buenos Aires to join Alexander Medina's team.
Godín has decided to join Vélez, where he believes he can have continuity in preparation for his main goal: playing his fourth World Cup with the Uruguayan National Team in Qatar.
Diego Muñoz revealed on ESPN F12 that the defender "has a great relationship with Medina, he is a close friend of the fitness coach Richard 'Papote' González, the Cacique wanted to have him at Talleres but at that time he had other priorities, but now he is obsessed with arriving at the World Cup in competition," he said.
If there are no complications, the Pharaoh will be a player for Vélez Sarsfield as he is willing to sacrifice money to wear the shirt of the Liniers team.
