Darío Sits bolsters Madrileño’s attack | OneFootball

While Atlético Madrileño continues its preparations for the opening match against Atlético Sanluqueño, next Monday at 19:30 in Alcalá de Henares, Fernando Torres receives a much-awaited gift in the form of a signing, addressing the squad's shortcomings. Indeed, Atlético Madrileño has signed Dario Sits.

Diario AS reported the interest, and yours truly at AtléticoSport.es confirmed that El Niño would indeed have a new striker: Darío Sits. This comes after an agreement between Atlético de Madrid and Parma for the loan of the 21-year-old Latvian striker. He will be on loan for one season, and for now, it is unknown whether there is any kind of purchase option.

A native of Kuldiga (Latvia), Dario Sits is a 21-year-old left-footed center forward, standing at 1.89 meters tall. Strong, with a good stride and positioning in the box, he has experienced a real rollercoaster of emotions in recent years. He tore his cruciate ligament two seasons ago while on loan at SPAL (Italian Serie C), in his only match with the ‘biancazzurri’. It was a long and tedious recovery, but one that ended well. Last year, he was loaned to Helmond Sport in the Eerste Divisie (Dutch second division) and, in just 1,400 minutes, managed to score 6 goals and provide 3 assists, which means he generated a goal every 157 minutes.

As if that weren’t enough, he has been and continues to be an international for his country at both youth and senior levels, scoring an away goal in the 1-1 draw against the Faroe Islands in the Nations League back in October 2024. He scored another against Andorra in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Now, Dario Sits arrives at Atlético Madrileño to reinforce a forward line that was previously occupied only by Omar Janneh, regardless of the participation of Sergio Esteban and Miguel Cubo in preseason.
