FC Dallas finally announced the capture of 22-year-old Paraguayan striker, Cristian Colman, for a reported $2m fee.
With almost two weeks passing since Dan Hunt's revealing Tweet, rumors swirled that Colman did not want to play in MLS, and that his initial club 3 de Febrero - who still owned 50% of his playing rights - had demanded more money. The rocky relations between the United States and Venezuela, and the effect on visas, was a more likely culprit however. Technical Director, Fernando Clavijo, described the deal as the most stressful transfer he has dealt with, in an interview with FCDallas.
