⚠️Alarm bells at Nacional: Aristizábal on the verge of joining Toronto FC | OneFootball

The transfer market for young Colombian talents is in full swing. Toronto FC is in very advanced negotiations to acquire the services of Emilio Aristizábal, the promising forward from Atlético Nacional. The 20-year-old attacker, who is also a key player for the Colombia U-20 National Team, is close to making the leap to Major League Soccer (MLS) in search of consolidating his international career.

Details of the deal in final phase

The conversations between the Canadian club and the "Verdolaga" management have entered their final stage. The agreement would be structured as a one-year loan, which would include a purchase option at the end of the term. This formula would allow the Eastern Conference team to evaluate the potential of the Antioquian striker before making a definitive investment in his card, while for Nacional it represents an opportunity to increase the value of one of its most projected assets.

A strategic leap for the "Verdolaga" jewel

Aristizábal, son of the legendary scorer Víctor Hugo Aristizábal, seeks to write his own story in a football world increasingly betting on young South American talent. His physical power and goal-scoring instinct have sparked interest in North America, where Toronto FC hopes he will become an immediate offensive replacement. It is expected that in the coming days the remaining details will be finalized for the player to travel for medical examinations.
