Atlético Nacional continues its path heading into the second half of the year and continues to look for a formula to strengthen its squad. Although the name of Roger Martínez continues to sound strongly as a possible incorporation, The club also has a plan B in case the operation does not come to fruition.
That plan B takes the name of Kevin Viveros, 24-year-old forward who comes from playing with La Equidad in the first half of 2024, where he scored 8 goals. Nurseries have performed well in recent years. In 2022, playing in Venezuela, he had his best season with 21 goals in 34 games.
His experience in Colombian soccer also includes passes through América de Cali (his debuting professional team in 2017). If his arrival materializes, Viveros would join the already confirmed additions of Andres Sarmiento.
Viveros and Atlético Nacional
According to journalist Julián Capera, Viveros has already informed the owner of his sports rights of his desire to play for another team for the second semester, and Atlético Nacional has already started talks with him. The idea would be for Viveros to join the team in case the signing of Roger Martínez does not materialize.
Nursery Statistics
Viveros has accumulated 37 goals in his career that began in 2017. His debut in Colombia was with América de Cali in 2018. He played one game as a starter of the seven he played with the scarlet club’s shirt. In the following season, in 2019, he started 8 of 9 games, but unfortunately he could not score a goal for América de Cali.
He left América de Cali and landed in the second division, where he played more games than in the first. He was with Atlético and with Leones. He played a little more than 20 games as a starter, scored four goals and returned to the first division, but neighboring country Venezuela, where he played for Carabobo. He started 34 games, scored 21 goals, the best mark of his career.
The following year, in 2023, he returned to Colombia to join the sugar club Deportivo Cali. With Cali he started 14 of 19 games and scored only four goals, which gave him a boost to reach the team where he currently is, which is La Equidad. With his current team, he doubled the goal mark from the previous year: he scored 8 goals and started 19 games.
Kevin Viveros has not played more than 2,000 minutes on the court again, but he is still a forward that some FPC teams might want.
