Despite the 2021 MLS season being in full swing, the Minnesota United are reportedly already looking into making their squad stronger next year. One of the players they are monitoring is Honduras international midfielder Kervin Arriaga.

Minnesota’s link with Arriaga was first reported by Honduran media outlet La Prensa. According to their report, the MLS side has been tracking the 23-year-old player for some time and even made the trip to watch him in person during Honduras’ clash against Costa Rica in World Cup Qualifiers.

The reports were later confirmed by the United’s beat writer Andy Greder.

The Minnesota United might have to move quickly to get Arriaga as they are not the only MLS club monitoring the player. La Prensa also reported that FC Austin is intrigued by Arriaga and is thinking about making a move for him.

Kervin Arriaga spent his entire career in native Honduras. He made his professional debut with Platense in 2017 and spent two years with the club before joining Marathon. Arriaga made eight appearances for Marathon this season and already scored three goals despite playing as a defensive midfielder.

Arriaga received his first call-up for Honduras men’s national team in 2020 and has established himself as an important part of the squad since then. He was ever-present for the country so far in the World Cup qualifiers.

Minnesota United added more weapons to their attack on Tuesday, bringing in veteran striker Juan Agudelo.

Agudelo, who was a free agent after spending the 2020 season with Inter Miami, signed a one-year deal with last year’s Western Conference finalists.

According to Minnesota head coach Adrian Heath, the deal came through after Agudelo asked the club to train with the first team while he was working on a move to Championship side Stoke City. After the move didn’t pan out, the 29-year-old player decided to stay with Minnesota for 2021.

“Nothing is going to faze him. He had a really good impact last year when he played for Inter Miami,” said Heath. “I think it’s a really good pick up for us.”

Aguelado played 14 games with Miami and made nine starts in 2020. He finished the campaign with three goals to his name.

Juan Agudelo started his career with the New York Red Bulls in 2010 and later played with Chivas USA and New England Revolution. He also had a short stint in Europe with Dutch club FC Utrecht.

Agudelo has also been a U.S. international since 2008 when he made his debut for the U17 team.  He received his first call-up for the senior team in 2010 and has since played 23 games for USMNT while scoring three goals.

Although Minnesota United’s forward Romario Ibarra delivered some solid performance while filling in for injured Angelo Rodriguez, that still wasn’t enough to keep him in MLS. Minnesota announced on Wednesday that they have sent Ibarra on a 13-month loan to Liga MX side Pachuca.

The deal between the two sides also gives Pachuca an option to sing Ibarra on a permanent basis after the loan ends.

Romario Ibarra joined Minnesota in 2018 from Universidad Católica, playing nine MLS games last season and scoring three goals. He started 2019 as the team’s starting forward, but when Minnesota’s main attacking option Angelo Rodriguez recovered from injury, Ibarra was relegated to a backup option. The 24-year-old scored two goals in eight games he played this season.

Minnesota United’s decision to part ways with Ibarra is most likely inspired by the club’s wishes to have a flexible salary budget for the upcoming summer transfer window. Minnesota is now expected to pursue a number of targets to reinforce their roster and is reportedly looking to make both domestic and international additions.
