Albarracín joins Cagliari

Cagliari Calcio announces that it has acquired the registration rights of footballer Agustín Albarracín, who moves permanently from Club Atlético Boston River. He has signed a contract with the Rossoblu until June 30, 2030, with the option to extend the contract for a further season.

Born in Montevideo on August 29, 2005, Albarracín developed through the youth academy of Montevideo Wanderers, where he signed his first professional contract in April 2023. He made his first-team debut on June 24 in a 0-0 Primera División draw against Peñarol. On July 23, he scored his first first-team goal (44 appearances, 2 goals in total), deciding the away match against Boston River, the club that would acquire him in 2025 and from which he is now moving to Sardinia. He has made 33 appearances and scored 11 goals for Boston River. On February 26, 2025, he made his debut in the Copa Libertadores in a 1-1 draw against Ñublense, while in the Copa Sudamericana he has made 4 appearances, scoring 2 goals.

Albarracín is a modern and dynamic striker, capable of moving across the entire offensive line. He prefers to start from a central position, alongside a strike partner, but can also adapt effectively to the wings, demonstrating speed, technical ability, and a keen eye for goal. A player of talent and personality, he combines excellent finishing skills with a natural ability to participate in play. His performances quickly earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting prospects in Uruguayan football, culminating in his call-up to the U20 national team and a starring role: 12 appearances (6 in the South American Championship) and 1 goal for the “Celeste” U20 team, where he developed a special bond with another Uruguayan prospect in the Rossoblu squad, Juan Martín Rodríguez.

With the arrival of Agustín Albarracín, the long and prestigious tradition linking Uruguay and Cagliari continues: a relationship that has lasted over 40 years and has seen numerous great names land in Sardinia, becoming protagonists on the pitch and eternal symbols of the rossoblù’s history.

Welcome in Cagliari, Agustín!
