Transcribed verbatim from the club's page in the guide. This edition prints Procedencia and Condición as two separate columns (unlike the 1986/87 edition's single combined field). Not editorially expanded beyond common football-transfer shorthand: signed on a free transfer (“pase propio”); the source lists his prior club as Def. Sporting (Urug).
