On loan at Orlando City SC since July 2022, the Lions today announced the permanent signing of Colombian winger Iván Angulo from Brazilian side Palmeiras – another key piece of winter transfer business that City supporters were keenly anticipating.
Signing a guaranteed contract through 2025, with a club option in 2026, Angulo was a standout contributor last year and registered five goals and eight assists across 2,499 minutes in our 2023 MLS regular season, scoring the crucial goal away at Nashville SC that set up our Eastern Conference Semi-Final with Columbus Crew.

I’d take the deal. He’s not a perfect finisher, but he has great pace, pressures defenses, and he’s involved in everywhere. Definitely a huge part of our recent success.

Is there anyone that doesn’t think this is a good deal? I personally think this is great.

Seems like a good deal to me.

Between he and Cartegena, they’ve been the biggest additions to the club since Facundo Torres.

If he can just become a better finisher then *chefs kiss*

I’m not convinced by his end product but it’s a good price

Welcome back Iván!
He’s an important player for how Oscar wants to play. Pace and pressure from the wing is important.
We didn’t have a like for like replacement on the wing at all.
I am curious to see what the fee was https://t.co/Ybw6Khffvn
