FC Cincinnati signed Colombian defender Santiago Arias on a free transfer.
The deal announced Thursday runs through the 2023 season and includes an option for 2024.
Arias, 31, has played in nearly 300 games with some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Spain’s Atletico Madrid, Portugal’s Sporting CP, the Netherlands’ PSV Eindhoven and Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen.
“Santi brings an enormous amount of experience and ability to FC Cincinnati,” FCC general manager Chris Albright said. “His defensive instincts, character, and overall quality is a welcome addition to the group and I’d like to welcome him and his family to Cincinnati.”
Arias helped PSV win three straight Eredivisie titles from 2015-18.
Internationally, he has earned 54 caps and appeared in two World Cups and three Copa Americas for Colombia.
