Osvaldo impressed with his last season performances and attracted the attention of Roma and Tottenham but he declared that he prefers to remain in La Liga.

With this move there are some doubts over Falcao transfer who is another target. But  Forlan could be sold to Inter and in this case Falcao would be more than needed. Atletico have signed also Arda Turan from Galatasaray.

Osvaldo started his career at Huracan. He moved to Serie A where he played for Atalanta, Lecce, Fiorentina and Bologna.

In 2010 he was loaned to Espanyol who made th move permanent.
