Atlético Nacional is speeding up its efforts to secure the stay of striker Alfredo Morelos beyond the end of his loan. The management considers him a key player for the club’s sporting objectives next semester.
There is mutual interest in continuing the relationship. Morelos has expressed that he feels comfortable at the club and in the city, which greatly facilitates the conversations between his agent and the club.

The main obstacle is the high cost of the transfer, as the player’s rights belong to Santos of Brazil. Nacional is looking for a viable financial formula, possibly a new loan or a partial purchase.
An advantage is that the Brazilian club does not count on the striker for their project and is seeking an exit to reduce their payroll. This situation could make negotiations more flexible for the Colombian team.
The fans and coaching staff are hoping for a positive resolution in the coming weeks. Retaining Morelos is seen as a fundamental “signing” to maintain the core of the team and the excitement for upcoming tournaments.
