After delivering three strong seasons in MLS, LAFC’s talented midfielder Eduard Atuesta could be on the move. UOL Esporte’s Bruno Andrade reported on Wednesday that Atuesta is being monitored by top Brazilian clubs, including Palmeiras and Gremio.

According to Andrade, Palmeiras already had one of their bids rejected. LAFC is reportedly asking for $3 million, which is deemed as a steep price by the reigning Copa Libertadores champs as Atuesta is on an expiring contract. The player himself is open to the move and has already said yes to Palmeiras.

The standoff between Palmeiras and LAFC might benefit Gremio, who would also like to bring in the Colombian. Gremio still hasn’t engaged in negotiations with the MLS side but is expected to make an offer soon.

Eduard Atuesta arrived at LAFC ahead of the club’s inaugural MLS season in 2018 and quickly established himself as an indispensable piece in their midfield. He played a total of 72 regular-season games in three years, scoring five goals and dishing 15 assists.

Atuesta also had a strong outing in the postseason, adding goals in LAFC’s playoff runs in 2019 and 2020. He helped the club win the Supporters’ Shield in 2019 while also receiving MLS Best XI spot.

Colombian midfielder Eduard Atuesta did enough in his first season in MLS to extend his stay with LAFC. Atuesta initially came to Los Angeles on loan from Colombia’s Independiente Medellín in early 2018, and LAFC recently activated the option to make the move permanent. Now, according to AS’ John Rojas,  the 21-year-old inked a three-year deal with the team.

“The club made use of the purchase option and we signed for the next three seasons,” – Atuesta told Rojas.

Since coming to Major League Soccer, Eduard Atuesta managed to show flashes of exciting talent, being one of the LAFC’s key players in the midfield. Although Auesta managed to contribute with just one goal and two assists in 25 appearances, his play off the ball was more than impressive.

Eduard Atuesta climbed his way through Independiente Medellín’s youth before making a debut for the senior team in 2016. In two years he spent playing for the club he managed to play 44 games and played a role in winning 2016’s Categoría Primera A trophy. In March 2018, Atuesta decided to come to the United States and joined LAFC for their inaugural season in MLS.

Atuesta is also a member of Colombia’s U-20 national team and has served as their captain during the 2017’s South American Championship.
