Luis Muriel has agreed to sign for Orlando City in the MLS, ending his time at Atalanta. The striker will leave for a fee of around €2 million, and with the documents signed, he will soon travel to the USA to complete the transfer by going through the medical tests.
This season, he wasn’t as effective for La Dea as he was before, scoring only two goals and providing one assist in 18 Serie A appearances. In the Europa League, he scored four goals in five appearances, albeit only playing for 50% of the minutes available in the group stage.
