A team spokesman denied that Milovan Mirosevic is transferring back to Chile. Mirosevic has been rumored to be returning to his hometown club Universidad Catolica, but the Crew denied that there is a deal in the works.

Mirosevic was a key first team player in 2012, lineing up at forward, attacking midfield, and central midfield. He played in 26 games, scoring four goals and logging two assists in his first year with the team.

The Chilean has a guaranteed contract for 2013. Any transfer would likely require a fee to complete the deal. Catolica is reportedly short of funds and would likely struggle to meet the fee required to pry Mirosevic away from Columbus.
