The 18-year-old Uruguayan player has signed a five-year contract. Power, speed and impulsive manner are his attributes for success
Almería continue to sign talented and quality players for the new imminent season with the aim of completing and building a winning team who will fight for promotion to the top-flight. In this sense, the club is adding experienced players and other young promising footballers, such as the Uruguayan Cristian Olivera, who has just signed for Almeria on a five-year deal. He is budding player who is looking forward to bursting onto the scene in Almería like his compatriot Darwin Núñez did last season.
Cristian Olivera is a quick, energetic and powerful right-winger with impulsive manner; a nightmare for any rival who gets in his way. Despite his young age, he played with the Uruguayan club CA Rentistas first-team in 2020. He also made 10 appearances in ‘Torneo Apertura’ (Apertura Tournament), scoring three goals and providing two assists. Back in 2019, he played 21 matches in the second-tier and 4 games in the play-offs for promotion, scoring three goals.
