The Chicago Fire have acquired Serbian international Aleksandar Katai on loan from Deportivo Alaves, the MLS side announced Tuesday.
The loan includes an option to acquire Katai permanently and extend his MLS contract.
“Aleksandar should make our attack more diversified,” Fire general manager Nelson Rodríguez said in a statement. “He has the ability to turn a game on a single play whether it be off the dribble, with a pass or cross or even on set pieces. His desire to triumph should also fit well in our locker room.”
Katai spent the past season and a half at the Deportivo Alaves, making the move from Serbain side Crvena Zvezda for €2 million prior to the 2016-17 season.
