Orlando City have today confirmed the departure of Luis Muriel to Atlético Junior following the early termination of the player's contract in Central Florida.
The 34-year-old has agreed to a two-year deal with last season's Colombian champions, whom he once represented during his youth before making his senior debut elsewhere.
“We want to thank Luis for his contributions during his time here in Orlando,” said Ricardo Moreira on the club's official website. “We wish him the best as he accomplishes his dream of returning to play for his boyhood club."

This move brings to a close yet another lengthy off-season saga for Orlando, who have only just secured a replacement for the departed Pedro Gallese after Carlos Coronel abandoned his switch from New York Red Bulls at the eleventh hour.
