Blockbuster MLS signing for Orlando City! Lionel Messi and Inter Miami's rivals set to sign Colombian international Luis Muriel from Serie A side Atalanta

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Lions are set to bolster their attacking core with the signing of Muriel this February. Despite the European transfer window being closed, the MLS window is still very much open, and Orlando appear ready to take advantage of it.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 32-year-old had multiple prolific goal-scoring seasons in Italy while repping the Blue and Black of Atalanta, but has slowed down in recent years. He notched just three goals in 29 league appearances in 2022-23, and in the current campaign, has two goals in 18 appearances.For Orlando City, it's an immediate upgrade in their attack, while also adding a player who will be famous with the large Colombian population in the area. It's a win-win for both parties, and an extra body up front ahead of a very busy MLS campaign.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Muriel made his international debut at the age of 22 for Colombia, but has not appeared for his nation in an international game since 2022. He's been capped 42 times.

DID YOU KNOW?

The MLS side are currently in preseason mode, preparing for the upcoming campaign. However, their first competitive match of the season won't come in league play. Instead, they're going to take on Canadian side Cavalry in Leg 1 of their Concacaf Champions League tie against the club on February 21.
