Another player could be making his way from Uruguay to MLS, according to a report.
Uruguayan journalist Wilson Mendez tweeted on Tuesday that 21-year-old center back Yeferson Quintana is “close” to moving to MLS from Peñarol.
Quintana made 22 appearances for Peñarol in 2017, scoring three goals and starting 17 times to help the club to the Uruguayan Primera title.
