The transaction includes a loan fee and a permanent transfer option at its conclusion, the MLS team said in a release.

Also Saturday, the club signed midfielder Michael Adedokun to a one-year contract that includes option years in 2026, ’27 and ’28.

The Nigerian led the Ohio State Buckeyes with 11 goals and 11 assists this past season.
