Jovanny Bolívar, a member of the Venezuelan under-20 national soccer team, will join D.C. United on a one-year loan, people close to the situation said Monday night.
The agreement comes one day after The Post reported United’s interest in the 19-year-old forward. Venezuelan journalist Mario Alberto Sánchez was first to report Monday that the deal was completed.
Bolívar scored four goals for 2020 Venezuelan champion La Guaira, which two weeks ago agreed to send Darluis Paz, an 18-year-old winger, to Loudoun United, D.C.'s second-division team.
United already employs a Venezuelan midfielder, Júnior Moreno, who is entering his fourth MLS season.
