Newswire Official statement New plan
  • Deportivo have agreed to take Uruguay international defender José María Giménez on loan from Atlético Madrid for the season.
  • The Galician club hold an option to buy his rights at the end of the campaign.
  • Giménez brings 370 official appearances for Atlético Madrid and experience at national and international level.

José María Giménez will play for Deportivo this season after the Galician club reached a loan agreement with Atlético Madrid on Tuesday night. Deportivo also secured an option to buy the Uruguay international defender at the end of the league campaign.

The club described the signing as the arrival of a center-back with an established career and extensive experience in high-level domestic and international football.

Giménez joined Atlético from Danubio in 2013 and made his official debut against Almería on Sept. 14 that year. He became a key part of Diego Pablo Simeone’s defensive system before injuries pushed him out of a regular starting role.

He leaves Atlético with 370 official appearances, including 260 in La Liga. Deportivo expect him to add authority to a defense in which young players Lucas Noubi and Bright Ede have taken on prominent roles at the start of the season.
