The wait is finally over.
FC Dallas has signed winger Alan Velasco as a Young Designated Player for a club-record fee from Independiente. The Argentine winger signed a four-year contract with a club option for the 2026 season. Velasco will occupy an international roster slot and will be added to the roster pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
Various reports in South America, including TyC Sports, Mati Martinez and CL Merlo, report the agreed-upon fee is around $7 million. We discussed the rumor last month as the two sides were still negotiating the transfer fee.
