Vancouver Whitecaps manager Carl Robinson addressed the local media moments ago in a conference call to provide an update on the saga involving star striker Camilo Sanvezzo and Queretaro FC. The situation has still not been resolved although Robinson says that the ongoing discussions with Camilo are reaching a "late stage".
Below is a brief summary of Robinson's update as provided by the Whitecaps' official Twitter feed:
