The Philadelphia Union officially announced the signing of Lionard Pajoy, formerly of Itagüí Ditaires (on loan from Millonarios).

Pajoy, 30, joins the Union after receiving his P-1 visa and is coming off of a career year, having scored 10 goals in 18 games for Itagui. The Colombian forward was tied for the scoring lead in Liga Postobon last year.

The Philadelphia Union completed the long-rumored signing of Colombian forward Lionard Pajoy from Itagui Ditaires on Wednesday, adding a piece that can help fill the scoring void left behind by the departed Sebastien Le Toux. Pajoy has received his P-1 visa, according to a team release, and will be joining the club soon for preseason preparations.

It looks like Pepe Moreno may not be playing or practicing in a Revolution uniform anytime soon.

Five days after New England announced that it had reached a loan agreement with Colombian side Once Caldas to bring the 30-year-old striker to Gillette Stadium, a report surfaced on Tuesday surfaced that the deal is off.

Duque deal finalized...waiting on visa

Looks like the Colombian connection continues. Glad to have some more depth at fullback.

Jose Fernando Salazar told Golcaracol that Pajoy is headed to Philadelphia to play in MLS in 2012. A contract has been signed and only obtaining a P-1 visa is holding up the transfer from becoming official.
