Nacional has secured the signing of left-back Benjamín Núñez, a 23-year-old player previously with Oriental de la Paz in the Segunda División. Núñez was also reportedly a target for rival club Peñarol, adding significance to Nacional’s acquisition. In 14 appearances in the Segunda División, the young defender demonstrated significant attacking prowess, scoring five goals and providing three assists. This transfer represents a move for a promising talent from the lower leagues to one of Uruguay's top clubs. Nacional will be looking for Núñez to contribute immediately to the first team. His ability to both defend and contribute to the attack makes him a valuable addition for the upcoming season. The club seems confident he can make a swift transition to higher-level competition.
