Alejandro Bedoya has finalized a contract extension with his French club Nantes through the 2018-19 season, sources said Monday. ‎

Bedoya was under contract with Nantes through the 2015-16 coming into this campaign, but his continued rise as one of the club's most influential players prompted the sides to hash out a new deal that extends the relationship for a further three seasons. ‎

Sources say Bedoya, who joined Nantes in August 2013, has been ‎attracting interest from clubs in the German Bundesliga and English Premier League, as well as from MLS officials.
