Instituto close to landing two international signings

Argentine club Instituto is set to bolster its attacking options with two international reinforcements. Paraguayan winger Manuel Romero, 24, will join on loan from Olimpia with a purchase option, and is expected to arrive in Córdoba shortly.

Joining him is Colombian winger John Emerson Córdoba, also 24, who comes on loan from Millonarios, according to La Voz del Interior.

Córdoba scored six goals in 28 appearances last season and previously played for Bucaramanga and Atlético Huila.

Instituto turned to the international market after facing difficulties securing local strikers. A new midfielder could also arrive if the right opportunity emerges.
