Atalanta star and striker Luis Muriel could be finally set to depart Serie A and join Major League Soccer side Orlando City.
Muriel has been linked with moves away from the club for a while, with Roma and Inter said to have been interested in him in the past. His current deal at Atalanta runs out in the summer and he would be a free agent soon.
TuttoAtalanta have reported that talks are ongoing between Orlando City and Atalanta over a move for Muriel, who would leave La Dea immediately for the MLS. Talks are at an advanced stage, with parties talking about the economic aspects and the duration of the contract.
The presence of Oscar Pareja, the Colombian coach at the helm of affairs at Orlando City, could be a determining factor in the choice of the striker. The prospect of working under the guidance of a compatriot and the ambitious project of the American team, which aims to win the title after reaching the quarter-finals of the MLS, makes the offer particularly attractive.
Difficulties are not expected to be faced in the move, with the main negotiations likely to involve Muriel’s entourage and the MLS side.
