Argentinian striker Thiago Ferrandez started performing at the level of Veles’ “adult” team in 2023, but did not renew his contract with his native club and ended up on the free agent market immediately after the new year.

At the same time, the 21-year-old performer had been negotiating with the Spanish Villarreal in recent months, so everyone understood that this player would not be without a club for long.

In the end, the “yellow submarine” announced the signing of a contract with him until 2031.

During the last season in Argentine football, Fernandez played 61 matches, scored seven goals and provided 10 assists.
