Braian Samudio joins Toluca for upcoming Apertura 2021

Toluca will have a new striker for the upcoming Apertura tournament. On Tuesday they announced the signing of 25-year-old Paraguayan Braian Samudio from Turkey's Rizespor Kulubu through the club's official Twitter account.

Samudio, who is currently with Paraguay's National team playing the Copa America, began his career with Brazilian side Uniao Barbarense and later joined Boa Esporte and Guarani Futebol Clube, before going to Turkey to play for Rizespor Kulubu. Toluca hopes the young Paraguayan will help the Diablos Rojos make a deep run in the upcoming tournament, after they were knocked out in the playoffs by Pachuca in the last Guard1anes.
