Oscar Javier Mendez Albornoz He was born in Montevideo, Uruguay on December 5, 1994, making him 27 years old.
The versatile defensive midfielder can also play as a central midfielder and central defender. So he would be signed mainly for the defensive zone and fill the vacancy of Paul Aguilar.
The footballer belongs to the agency soccer score and has a contract with the team Medellin Independent until the end of 2022, he currently has the highest market value of his career with 475 thousand euros.
Javier Mendez He began his career in the lower divisions of the racing club from Uruguay and it was until the summer of 2013 that he was able to be part of the first team, there he spent five and a half years, to later sign for the Santa Fe Union in early 2019 where he spent a year and a half.
At the end of the same 2019 he was able to sign with the Danube and there he spent just over a year, and it was at the beginning of 2022 that he signed with the Medellin Independent where he spent six months.
Apparently, the Uruguayan defender’s visit to La Noria to see his compatriot and friend, Christian Tabowas a mere coincidence and does not necessarily indicate that it is a signing for the Machine, so it will be necessary to wait for the official versions.
