The Philadelphia Union announced today that the club has signed 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder Ilsinho on a two-year deal using Targeted Allocation Money. Ilsinho will occupy an international roster spot upon receipt of a P-1 Visa and international transfer certificate (ITC).
“We’re extremely excited to land a player of Ilsinho’s caliber and that he chose Philadelphia over other options,” Philadelphia Union Sporting Director Earnie Stewart said. “For a player with experience at the highest level in this sport, he came into our preseason camp with a tremendous work rate and that speaks to the type of person he is and who we want at our club.
