Colorado Rapids have loaned left-back Miguel Navarro to Argentinian outfit Talleres for the 2024 MLS season.Talleres have a buy option to make Navarro's loan move permanent following the end of the campaign.Navarro was recently acquired in a trade with Chicago Fire, but the arrival of US men's national team left-back Sam Vines meant the Venezuela international more than likely wouldn't get much game time this upcoming season."Miguel is a talented, starting-caliber player in MLS. We hope this loan will allow him to maintain his place in the Venezuelan national team, given increased competition at the position in our squad," Colorado sporting director Fran Taylor said in a release."This loan will allow him to continue to build his profile in both North and South America by exposing him to the Copa Libertadores competition, as well as being involved in one of the most progressive clubs in Argentina."
