Just a few minutes ago, América de Cali, one of the largest teams in Colombian professional soccer, confirmed that offensive midfielder Edwin Cardona is leaving the team. The announcement was made through the institution’s digital channels.
“Midfielder Edwin Cardona ended his time with América de Cali. We appreciate his commitment by wearing our shirt and we wish him success in his professional career,” the team said through its official X account, a social network that was previously known worldwide as Twitter.
Although the departure of Edwin Cardona was expected due to the club’s performance in the first half of this year, due to the arrival of Jorge the ‘Moth’ Da Silva, some thought that the ’10’ could continue in the institution.
“América de Cali confirms the departure of Edwin Cardona. The midfielder was in the team for one season, played 37 games and scored 6 goals. It’s a pity about his intermittency, because he played good games with America that even the Colombian National Team asked for it,” said journalist Salomé Fajardo in X, as a reaction.
“#América has already informed Edwin Cardona (31) and his circle that it will not exercise the purchase option that was stipulated. The midfielder has no longer belonged to #Racing for a year, he will be a free agent. There are interests in Colombia and abroad to have his services,” the sports communicator Pipe Sierra had added a few days ago, also in X.
The great unknown after the departure of Edwin Cardona from the red team of the capital of Valle del Cauca is which Colombian professional soccer team he will end up playing for. Speculations, from this moment, begin to arise.

One of the clubs where Edwin Cardona could end up is the Atlético Nacional de Medellín club, an institution for which he already played and for which he is very loved by the fans. It is worth mentioning that the Paisa team is undergoing a major restructuring ahead of the BetPlay League in the second half of the year.
The next few days and weeks will be key to knowing the next team in the career of Edwin Cardona, who has played in clubs, among others, such as Boca Juniors from Argentina, Racing from the same country and Monterrey from Mexico.
More movements in the FPC
Pipe Sierra indicated in X that Carlos Sierra would leave Atlético Nacional. “Carlos Sierra (33) has a contract with #AtléticoNacional until December 2024; However, they informed him that by decision of the coaching staff, he will not be taken into account for the second semester. The midfielder will have to find a new team in the coming weeks,” he noted.
He also indicated that Neyder Moreno will leave the club. “Beyond the renewal attempts, the new coaching staff decided not to take into account Neyder Moreno (27) and he will leave #AtléticoNacional as a free agent. The winger is already listening to offers after belonging to the purslane team for 5 years,” he said.
