Atlético Nacional Set to Receive $400,000 from Peñarol for Facundo Batista
Atlético Nacional’s financial situation is poised for a notable enhancement with an expected payment of $400,000 from Peñarol for Uruguayan striker Facundo Batista.
Final Payment for Economic Rights
The Montevideo club is scheduled to complete the outstanding payment in December, fulfilling the last installment for a 30% stake in the player’s economic rights. This agreement, finalized in late 2025, guarantees that the 27-year-old forward will continue with Peñarol, where he is contracted until the conclusion of the 2028 season.
A Key Boost for Next Season
This season, Batista has contributed two goals across 31 official matches. The impending financial boost will be vital in enhancing Atlético Nacional’s budget as the club prepares to strengthen its squad for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, on the field, Atlético Nacional currently leads the Liga BetPlay II-2026 standings, amassing 34 points from 15 matches.
