Athletico-PR sign Colombian defender | OneFootball

Athletico-PR announced this Monday the signing of Colombian defender Carlos Terán. The 29-year-old player’s contract with Furacão is valid until the end of 2026.

Carlos Terán was developed by Envigado, in Colombia, and has played for his country’s youth national teams. He even competed in the 2019 U-20 World Cup.

Since 2020, he had been playing for Chicago Fire, in the United States. Over six seasons with the North American team, he played 90 matches and scored five goals.

“I am very happy to be here at Athletico and I hope we achieve all our goals. I will do my best,” said the new number 13 of Furacão. “I am really looking forward to playing here (Arena da Baixada). It’s a very beautiful stadium. In the United States, there are beautiful stadiums, but this one is different because it transmits the essence of football,” stated the defender.

Carlos Terán will be able to wear the Athletico shirt in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, as soon as his contract is registered in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

Athletico-PR is currently in 12th place in Série B, with 30 points. In the Copa do Brasil, the team will face Corinthians in the quarterfinals.

The first leg will take place this Wednesday, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena da Baixada, in Curitiba (PR).
