Uruguay international Carlos Sanchez has joined Santos on a three-year deal, the Brazilian club has announced.
The 33-year-old midfielder arrived from Mexico's Monterrey, where he made 91 league appearances in three seasons, reports Xinhua news agency.
"I'm very happy to be here. I never imagined playing for a team with so much history," Sanchez said in a Santos statement on Tuesday.
