To the coffee countries? An outstanding goalkeeper from Vinotinto is about to defend the colors of Atlético Nacional, one of the most important clubs in Colombian football. And the player who should prove his skills in the “Verdolaga” team would be Wuilker Fariñez, who has already agreed to undergo the appropriate medical tests this Monday, January 8th, in Medellín.
This was announced by Colombian journalists Juan David Londoño and Pipe Sierra, who also revealed that the 25-year-old athlete would be officially appointed in the middle of next week and would come as a free agent after leaving RC Lens:

Wuilker Fariñez became champion with Millonarios FC in 2018
As we remember, Fariñez made the jump to European football with Lens after his great season with Millonarios FC, a team with which he won the Super League in 2018.
What's next with the injury that kept Wuilker Fariñez off the field?
In November 2023, the young goalkeeper stepped onto a football field again after being sidelined for over a year due to injury and surgery.
Likewise, a few days ago the athlete published a video on social networks in which he trains hard with Lens, a situation in which he reflects on gradually regaining his previous level until his cruciate ligament injury in his left knee. .
Will David Ospina play for Atlético Nacional?
As Pipe Sierra revealed, David Ospina, an experienced Colombian goalkeeper, was initially one of the long-awaited signings that “El Verde” was targeting for this season.
However, due to the economic part sought by the player, no agreement was reached. So they set out to find Fariñez, who would be officially appointed at Atlético Nacional in a few days.
