The rumor that Atletico Nacional's Alejandro Bernal may be on his way to MLS - and specifically the New York Red Bulls - faded relatively quickly, seemingly crowded out by the notion that the player was close to agreeing a move to Millonarios.
But news out of Colombia now suggest that negotiations between Millonarios and Atletico Nacional have foundered irrevocably. In a widely echoed report, HSB Noticias advises the Bernal transfer to Millonarios "seems to be completely ruled out". The nature of the transaction is reportedly the issue: Nacional wants a sale; Millonarios "barely offered a loan".
