The rumors have turned out to be true as FC Dallas announced on Friday that they have acquired Colombian forward Carlos Lizarazo on loan from Mexican side Cruz Azul.
The 24-year old has played in 105 first division matches for Deportivo Cali in Colombia since 2009. The forward/midfielder netted 14 goals in six seasons before joining Cruz Azul last season.
His loan to FC Dallas is set to last one year. No official word yet on if there is an option to buy out his deal once the loan is done.
FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja had some interesting comments in the club's official press release about Lizarazo too as he preached patience with the young attacker.
