(The 150th issue of the "Super League Old Flash/Dynamics" column focuses on former Chongqing Lifan center Giliotti, the 34-year-old Argentine striker joining Uruguay's traditional giants as a free agent, ushering in the 13th club of his 15-year career)
The official website of the National Club announced the signing of Gigliotti and revealed that the Argentine center has become the team's fourth new signing before the arrival of the 2022 season, and the "Cougar" will arrive in Montevideo in the next few days to sign a one-year contract with the Nationals and meet the first team.
The 34-year-old Gigliotti jumped from Mexican giants Leon as a free agent, and he has been playing in the Mexican league for the past three seasons, playing for Toluca and Leon, with which he won the Mexican league championship once. Last season, he performed poorly in the Mexican league, making 18 league appearances and scoring a total of 1 goal in 510 minutes before failing to renew his contract.
Gigliotti's time in the Chinese Super League dates back to the 2015 season, when he transferred from A-league giants Boca Youth to Chongqing Lifan for 3 million euros, playing 56 times in the Chinese Super League in two seasons, contributing 24 goals and 7 assists, with great efficiency. In the 2017 season, he left Chongqing to join the veteran powerhouse of AJia.
The Nationals are the 13th team of Gigliotti's career, having previously played for Argentina's La Madrid, Youth, All Boys, Atlético Tucumán, San Lorenzo, Cologne, Boca Juniors and Independence, Italy's Novara, China's Chongqing Lifan, Mexico's Leon and Toluca, playing for an average of less than two years per team, and is a typical wandering player.
