Tigres from Mexico was another club interested in Fausto Vera, but an agreement was reached with the Millonarios.

Atlético-MG has accepted offers for Fausto Vera from both Tigres of Mexico and River Plate of Argentina, and the decision on where he will play is now with the player and his staff. Both clubs have proposed a one-year loan with an option to purchase. The two clubs met the financial demands set by Atlético-MG, though the values involved were not disclosed. River Plate initially made an offer, which was accepted after Atlético-MG presented a counter-proposal, and Tigres formalized their bid during this period.
