Atlético Junior is on rest these days, but in the process of outlining its roster for the second semester, thinking about the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and the rematch in the Betplay II League.
Although several names have been mentioned, only now are the first two additions known, discussed but not closed, for the second stage of the year.
And the one who spoke on the subject was none other than the largest shareholder, Fuad Char, who without mysteries referred to the possible incorporations of two former Colombia National Team for a key sector: the midfield
“We are talking with these two players. We are interested in them,” he said about Yairo Moreno and Andrés Colorado, in statements to the newspaper El Heraldo.
Who are the possible reinforcements?
Colorado is 25 years old, stands 1.82m tall and was champion with Deportivo Cali in that successful Rafael Dudamel campaign.
After that success he moved to Sao Paulo, to Necaxa in Mexico and is now looking to return to the country in search of the continuity that he has not had abroad. He is very strong in the aerial game, he has a pass and shot in front of the opponent’s goal and an important physical display.
Moreno, meanwhile, can be a left back, winger and interior, positions he has held in Equidad, Envigado, León and Pachuca in Mexico and recently Independiente Medellín, a team with which he has just completed a notable campaign in the Copa Sudamericana.
He went through the Colombian National Team with Carlos Queiroz and Reinaldo Rueda and now, at 29 years old, he would arrive as a free agent.
