Joe Corona was on his way to Major League Soccer, but Club Tijuana had seen enough from him during a recent successful loan stint to be convinced to keep him with the Xolos, sources tell Goal USA.
The target of multiple MLS teams for a move ahead of the 2017 season, Corona was ready to make the move north, but will now stay in Mexico after signing a new multi-year deal to stay with the club that has owned his rights for his entire professional career.
Corona helped lead Dorados de Sinaloa to the Liga Ascenso title earlier this month, completing a solid campaign on loan with the team that shares owner ship with first-division Club Tijuana.
