He scored six goals and registered four assists in 25 appearances for Cali last season and his current deal runs until 2023.
Steven Gerrard has already added Fashion Sakala to his forward line but will be keen to further bolster his attack for a crack at the Champions League group stage.
However, reports Stateside suggest that Moreno has narrowed his decision down to either Atlanta United and Portland Timbers this summer despite interest from Europe.
Futbolete claim that the decision from the attacker is due to being closer to his homeland, and will cost the club around $4million.
