Although the F-16 is also a potential competitor, Velásquez says there are no talks with the United States on the purchase.
Velásquez recently met U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and the sale of F-16s to Colombia was not discussed by both side.
Colombia plans to retire its Kfir fighters next year.
