Rumor: Minnesota United interested in Colombian defender

And here. We. Go.

The first real rumor of the offseason is now upon us. Two Twitter reports out of Colombia — admittedly unsubstantial, but they’ve got enough followers to make it worth paying attention — state that Minnesota United is interested in Eddie Segura of Colombian side Atlético Huila.

Segura is a 21-year-old central defender who can also play right back, according to Transfermarkt.

Atlético Huila play in the Colombian first division and are rivals of Deportes Tolima, the former club of United forward Angelo Rodriguez. Rodriguez and fellow Colombian Darwin Quintero have established a clear connection between the Loons and the South American country.
