Globo.com reported that Angelo Preciado has signed a four-season contract with Atletico Mineiro. The negotiation was described as complicated and involved Atletico Mineiro investing 2.5 million dollars to acquire 50% of the player's economic rights. Before his time at Sparta Prague, Preciado played for Genk in Belgium. In the current European season, he made 23 appearances for Sparta, scoring one goal and providing five assists.

According to Globo.com, Atlético-MG has made the signing of right-back Angelo Preciado official. The 27-year-old Ecuadorian was at Sparta Praga in the Czech Republic. The player was signed for the right-back position following the departure of Renzo Saravia. The contract is for four years, and the transaction values were not disclosed.

According to Globo.com, Sparta Prague wanted defender Preciado to stay, but the player's desire to transfer and play in South America was the prevailing factor. Midfielder Alan Franco, an Alvinegro player, was actively involved in the signing. He is a close friend of Preciado, maintains a very close relationship with him, called the full-back, and assisted in the signing. That both share the same agent was a facilitating factor. The club also had a large database with information about the player, with assistance from CIGA - Galo Information Center - and the team's market manager, Rafael Barros.

According to Globo.com, Angelo Preciado landed in Belo Horizonte on Sunday morning to undergo medical examinations and sign a contract with Atlético-MG. The contract to be signed has a duration of four years. Atlético will acquire the rights to the Ecuadorian player, and the transaction values were not disclosed.
