Vélez Sarsfield is interested in signing Cristian Arango to add him to its squad. The 31-year-old Colombian attacker is currently on a season-long loan at Atlético Nacional from his parent club, San Jose Earthquakes, and the Colombian side must decide whether to exercise the purchase option. Arango's contract with San Jose Earthquakes is valid until December 2027. To acquire the player, Vélez Sarsfield would need to pay his market value of 2.50 million euros to the MLS club, or they could pursue a loan deal similar to the one arranged by Atlético Nacional. He has 2 caps for Colombia. For the 2025/2026 season in the Liga DIMAYOR, Arango has made 18 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist.
