The 28-year-old Uruguayan, nicknamed "El Comandante" by supporters, has become a key figure in the club's current sporting project through his consistency, character and unwavering competitiveness. His renewal ensures he will continue under coach Quique Sanchez Flores heading into the 2026-27 season, with the club clearly viewing him as a cornerstone of their plans for the coming years.
Makes squad list
Protesoni (undisclosed) is in the squad list for Saturday's clash against Elche.

The Uruguayan's return is a significant boost for a side battling through the final stretch of their survival fight.
