MLS outfit Nashville could be Juanfran's next port of call
Nashville SC, one of the league's expansion teams for the 2020 season, is in the running to sign the Spanish defender, who is a free agent after leaving Atlético Madrid.
Nashville SC will be the other MLS expansion team along with Inter Miami to join the American league for the 2020 season, and the southern club could make their debut with a two-time Europa winner - Juanfran Torres.
According to ESPN reporter, Moises Llorens, Juanfran whose contract with Atlético de Madrid expires at the end of the month, has been linked with the MLS side. "Our technical staff is in the process of building a full roster and therefore is evaluating talent who fits our team culture and dynamic," said a Nashville spokesperson.
Juanfran has stated that his future lies away from Spain and if he finally arrives in the Music City, he would be 35 years of age by the time Nashville make their MLS debut.
