Minnesota United FC acquired defender Nicolas Romero from Argentina’s Atletico Tucuman on Thursday.
The 21-year-old Argentine center back signed a three-year deal with an option for 2028. He will occupy U22 Initiative and international roster slots.
Romero tallied two goals in 78 matches from 2021-25 with Atletico Tucuman, where he played with current MNUFC midfielder Joaquin Pereyra.
“Nicolas is an ambitious player who has the desire to make the next step in his career, and we are excited to welcome him to Minnesota,” MNUFC chief soccer officer Khaled El-Ahmad said.
“We look forward to seeing Nicolas bring a strong work ethic, athletic ability and versatility in the back as an added option to the back line this season and beyond.”
The Loons open the 2025 MLS regular season on Feb. 22 at Los Angeles FC.
