Orlando City fans who have been pining for a signing this off-season finally had their long, national nightmare come to an end today as the Lions have added a player. The club signed 20-year-old midfielder César Araújo to a three-year contract with a club option for the 2025 season.
Araújo, who will turn 21 in April, joins Orlando from Montevideo Wanderers Fútbol Club of Uruguay’s Liga Profesional de Primera División.
“We’re very excited about bringing César to Orlando and having him suit up in purple,” Orlando City Executive Vice President of Soccer Operations Luiz Muzzi said in a club press release.
