St. Louis City acquired forward Sergio Cordova on loan from Switzerland’s BSC Young Boys on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Venezuelan international returns to MLS through June 30 with a purchase option.
Cordova, who played for Real Salt Lake (2022) and the Vancouver Whitecaps (2023), will occupy designated player and international roster slots.
“Adding Sergio on loan gives us valuable depth and short-term reinforcement while maintaining the flexibility that is important to our long-term plans,” sporting director Corey Wray said. “We are always looking to maximize the MLS roster mechanisms, and putting Sergio in the DP spot will benefit us in several ways while also giving us options moving forward.
“Beyond that, he brings qualities we value in a striker with his movement, ability to link play, and stretch defenses. We are excited to get him integrated with the group and look forward to what he can add over the coming months.”
Cordova tallied 15 goals and two assists in 61 matches during his previous MLS stint. He has also played in Germany, Turkey, Russia and his native Venezuela.
