Efrain Juarez is leaving Liga MX side Monterrey for Major League Soccer, telling a Mexican radio station he's heading to the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Juarez wasn’t in the 18 for the Rayados' Liga MX opener Sunday against Morelia, with coach Antonio Mohamed revealing the defender was in ongoing negotiations with an MLS team.
“Efrain Juarez has the possibility of going to the MLS, he is in negotiations and for that reason he is not with the squad,” Mohamed said.
Juarez, who started for the Mexico national team at the 2010 World Cup, confirmed his destination in an interview with ESPN Radio Formula on Tuesday.
