América de Cali on alert over possible Santiago Moreno transfer
Fluminense has made a formal offer for the Colombian winger, and América de Cali is keeping a close eye on the negotiations, since the scarlet club—where Moreno made his professional debut—retains a percentage of his rights.
Portland Timbers rejected Fluminense's first offer
According to MLS specialist journalist Tom Bogert, the first offer made by the Brazilian club was $4 million for the rights to 25-year-old Moreno. However, Portland considered the offer 'well below his value.'
Nevertheless, negotiations are ongoing, and many reports from Brazil suggest that the transfer could be finalized in the coming hours, possibly with an increase that would bring the final amount to around five million dollars, which would mean América would receive about one million.
According to the American journalist, the Timbers have already rejected two offers close to five million from other MLS teams, but in those cases, they were direct competitors.
Fluminense, meanwhile, is looking for a replacement for another Colombian, Jhon Arias, who shone at the Club World Cup and quickly moved to Wolverhampton in the Premier League.
At América de Cali, Santiago Moreno played between 2019 and 2021, making 57 appearances, scoring 11 goals, and providing 7 assists.

Real Madrid reject €75 million offer for key midfield star
The one position Real Madrid see to be in need of reinforcement but have not strengthened this summer is the defensive midfield, a department where they have been linked with Angelo Stiller, Rodri, Martin Zubimendi and others. Manager Xabi Alonso sees the pivot position to be one where the squad lacks a natural ball player and a controlling presence. As it stands, Aurelien Tchouameni is the only natural profile in the position and is thus expected to have a big role in the new season. Real Madrid's tactics in the FIFA Club World Cup spoke volumes about the importance of the defensive midfield position in Alonso's plans as Tchouameni served as the focal point in the buildup and effectively a third centre-back. Not for sale As relayed in a recent report by Fichajes, Alonso and Real Madrid see Tchouameni to be untransferable for any price in the current transfer market and will not sanction his departure at any cost. Tchouameni will not be sold. (Photo by) The manager sees the player to be a vital part of his plans and thus does not contemplate a sale in any capacity despite interest arriving from the Premier League – possibly from Arsenal. The report further reports that the offer from England reportedly included a transfer fee of €75 million – a sum that is significant in the current market dynamics. Even that sum, however, was not enough to make the club consider a sale as Real Madrid do not wish to part ways with him this summer. Tchouameni, for his part, is happy at the club and is eager to continue his relationship with Real Madrid for the years to come. He wishes to compete only at the highest level, something he believes he can only do at the best club in the world.

Eddie Howe admits Alexander Isak situation is ‘far from ideal'
Eddie Howe admits the Alexander Isak situation is 'far from ideal' but still hopes to see the unsettled star back in a Newcastle shirt after confirming the club rejected an offer from Liverpool. The 25-year-old Swede, one of the hottest properties in world football, has had his head turned by the Premier League champions' interest this summer. Isak did not travel to Asia for Newcastle's pre-season tour due to what the club called a 'minor thigh injury', only for his unhappiness to emerge along with the fact he is training at former club Real Sociedad. 'I think from my situation, I am very much removed from everything that is happening back home,' Magpies boss Howe said, as reported by The Athletic. 'I was made aware there was a bid yesterday. That bid was turned down before I heard about it. 'There are people back in England dealing with the situation. I really don't know what is going to happen next, but from our perspective, we still support Alex in every way, and my wish is still that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again.' Newcastle head back from Asia after Sunday's friendly against Tottenham in Seoul, where Howe revealed he learned Isak was training in Spain with his former club through the media. 'I know where he is through the media, so I think from that perspective it's difficult for me to go into any detail,' the said. 'The situation is far from ideal. It is quite complex. I think that is all I have got to say.'

Son to leave Tottenham this summer after 10 years
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min says he will leave the club this summer after 10 years. The South Korea international joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has scored 173 goals in 454 appearances. He was captain when Tottenham beat Manchester United in the Europa League final in May to clinch their first trophy in 17 years. The 33-year-old, who is under contract with Spurs until 2026, is in advanced negotiations with Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC. Son described the decision as "the most difficult one I have made in my career" as he spoke to media alongside new manager Thomas Frank. "I came to north London as a kid - a very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English," Son said. "Leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment." Tottenham are in Seoul as part of their pre-season preparations, with Son set to start and skipper the side against Newcastle in their friendly on Sunday - meaning his final appearance for the club could come in his home country. Frank, who replaced Ange Postecoglou as head coach in June, described Son as "a true Spurs legend" and "one of the greatest players to play in the Premier League". "If that is the last game for Sonny, what a place to do it here in front of his home fans," Frank said. "It could be a beautiful ending." Tottenham also face Paris St-Germain in the Uefa Super Cup on 13 August, but Son may depart by then. 'I need new environment to push myself' Son said winning a title in Europe with Spurs "felt like I had achieved everything I possibly could". He made his Tottenham debut in September 2015 and went on to make 333 Premier League appearances. He scored 127 times in the league - level with former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink at 16th in the league's all-time scorers list, above the likes of Dwight Yorke, Steven Gerrard and Ian Wright. He became the first Asian player to win the Premier League golden boot, sharing the title with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah with 23 goals in the 2021-22 season, and a year later was the first from the continent to reach 100 Premier League goals. He featured in the Champions League final against Liverpool in 2019 - which the Reds won 2-0 - and took over as club captain from Hugo Lloris in August 2023. "I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change - 10 years is a long time," Son added. "I spent a lot of time reflecting on whether I wanted to experience football in a different environment, and I had those conversations with myself over and over again." Son also provided 101 assists in all competitions and holds Spurs' record for Premier League assists with 71. He has also made the sixth-most appearances in the history of the club - behind only Cyril Knowles, Pat Jennings, Gary Mabbutt, Steve Perryman and Glenn Hoddle.
