Pilar Velásquez stated that Edwin Cardona has been contacted by clubs in Colombia, specifying that a club from Bogotá called him, and also detailed that it is thought he would go to international football if he leaves Atlético Nacional. It is not confirmed that he will leave Atlético Nacional, where he has a contract until the end of 2026.

Analyst Carlos Antonio Vélez, citing sources from the club, said that Miguel Ángel Ramírez would have requested the termination of Edwin Cardona's contract to create an opportunity for younger players with different competitive characteristics as part of his long-term project.
