Although the BetPlay 2026-I League is already underway, there are several teams that still keep their transfer book open, looking for new players or with the aim of giving their squad a fresh look. In the case of Atlético Nacional, it is rumored that there will be a star signing, while another player would ultimately not reach the ‘purslane’ institution.
A few days ago, it was known that Cristian ‘Chicho’ Arango, who plays in the MLS, would have everything ready for his hiring with the team led by Diego Arias.
According to journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez in his regular program Palabras Mayores, “‘Chicho’ Arango travels today (January 29); they have advanced the documentation with the MLS and the contract with the player.”
Stefan Medina would not play for Atlético Nacional
Thus, Nacional would have planned to “present it this Friday” and with this hiring “the pass book is closed,” according to the professional.
In addition, Carlos Antonio made reference to the possibility of Stefan Medina returning to Colombian football; something that would have no future, especially with Nacional. “They answered me: ‘No, sir, no more additions this semester’, with Chicho Arango, Atlético Nacional closes the transfer market,” said Vélez.
In this way, the ‘purslane’ team would be complete with the arrival of the experienced player, who has expressed his love and taste for the ‘verdiblanco’ team.
