FC Cincinnati has made headlines by signing Brazilian midfielder Evander from the Portland Timbers for a record transfer fee of $12 million, marking a significant move within MLS. This deal not only involves a Designated Player contract until 2027, with an option for 2028, but also retains future sell-on and trade percentages for Portland. Evander's impressive statistics from the last season, including 30 goal involvements and a high number of chances created, underscore his value as he replaces Luciano Acosta, who departed to FC Dallas. Cincinnati is gearing up for the upcoming MLS season with high expectations and excitement.
Cincinnati are entering their fourth season under head coach Noonan and currently preparing for a Concacaf Champions Cup round one series against Honduran side FC Motagua.
Evander's arrival at the TQL Stadium will help bolster Pat Noonan's attacking options for the 2025 MLS season, having lost Luciano Acosta to FC Dallas last week.
