The Philadelphia Union secured Uruguayan forward Bruno Damiani for a club-record $3.4 million from Nacional. Damiani, 22, signed a deal through 2028, with an option for 2029, occupying an international roster slot. Union's sporting director Ernst Tanner praised Damiani's height, physicality, and scoring ability. Having contributed to Nacional's Supercopa victory and with a notable record at Boston River, Damiani recently debuted for the Uruguay national team. His transfer included a personal donation to Nacional's youth programs, reflecting his gratitude to the club that nurtured his career.
Bruno is the exact type of player that we have been looking to add to our striker unit. He is a tall, physical striker with a proven ability to dominate and be a danger in the final third. Along with his size and strength, he is a clinical finisher and is relentless on the attack.
It just so happened that after a [Nacional] game in which I did not play, a better offer came. It was better both economically and in terms of quality of life and now I only want to focus on football.
