Junior FC is pursuing the 34-year-old Colombian centre-forward Luis Muriel, and Atlético Nacional has also expressed interest. Regarding Nacional's pursuit, journalist Pilar Velásquez stated that for now, the situation is more that the club likes the player. In contrast, Junior has sent a formal offer to Orlando City and is awaiting a response. Muriel's contract with the MLS club runs until 2026, and Orlando City is willing to loan him out if Junior assumes a high percentage of his salary, a detail also reported in Deporte Espectacular. It is reported that Muriel wants to play in the Copa Libertadores with Junior. He had previously told El Heraldo that although his family would be happiest if he came to Barranquilla, the contractual and economic aspects would also be an important factor. The Colombian international, who has 45 caps and 8 goals for his country, joined Orlando City in February 2024 and has a current market value of €1.00m according to Transfermarkt.
