“I’m very happy to be here at Atletico,” Samuel Lino said upon his signing as carried by Mundo Deportivo. “It’s a great club. It means a lot to me. It’s a feeling of great pride. I have no words to describe this moment. When I started playing football as a child I always dreamed of playing for the big clubs and coming to Atletico fulfilled that dream. It’s made me very happy because since I was little I’ve imagined this moment. I can only be grateful.”

The youngster has the ability to play on either flank, and has been able to establish himself in the Portuguese league. In 99 games with Gil Vicente, Lino scored 26 goals and provided 5 assists
