Morelos would then travel to undergo medical check-ups once he receives the 'OK'.

Many clubs from across Europe were also said to be keeping taps on the striker.

There’s a chance that Atlético Nacional may even settle for an initial six month loan before agreeing on a fixed price if they want to land Morelos on a long-term permanent deal.
