Paul Tenorio, a national soccer reporter who recently covered MLS for FourFourTwo, is reporting a bit of transfer news that should excite Minnesota United fans:
MNUFC has put in a $4 million bid for 20-year-old Deportivo Cali playmaker Nicolás Benedetti, per source with knowledge of the offer. Separate source tells me Cali asking price has been closer to $8 million.

Benedetti is officially listed as an attacking midfielder, which can be code for winger, but Tenorio confirmed that he would serve as more of a number 10, or central attacker.
