“It is true the rumors about Marco Fabián, that we are in touch with him and in negotiations but we cannot say more at the moment,” Tanner said. “We will come out when we have more news about that.”

The Mexico international midfielder, currently under contract with Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, was linked to the Union in a report from ESPN’s Taylor Twellman on Tuesday.
