FC Dallas nearing deal for Colombian striker Barrios

FC Dallas are believed to be closing in on promising Colombian talent Michael Barrios.

Barranquilla-based side Uniautonoma FC posted a Tweet on Wednesday suggesting that the 23-year old attacker will soon sign a deal with FCD ahead of the 2015 MLS season.

Barrios netted 16 goals in Colombia's top flight last term and is expected to step into the second striker role vacated by fellow countryman Andres Escobar who spent the 2014 season with the Texan club on loan from Dynamo Kyiv.
