Initially signed on a four-year contract from Peñarol back in January 2022, our Designated Player Facundo Torres has now signed a new contract through 2026 with club options in 2027 and 2028, keeping El Cuervo at Inter&Co Stadium for now and boosting his transfer value simultaneously.
The jewel in the crown of Orlando City SC, Uruguay international Torres is undoubtedly City’s most talented player and the creative fulcrum of our attack. Since arriving in Central Florida, the 23-year-old has impressively scored 27 goals across all competitions for the Lions and registered 14 MLS regular season assists, not to mention playing a pivotal role in helping City win the 2022 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, scoring a brace in the final against Sacramento Republic back in September 2022.
Looking forward to even more selfies 🤳
Orlando City SC has signed forward Facundo Torres to a new three-year contract, with Club options in 2027 and 2028.@facutorresss | #VamosOrlando

New deal for Facu is a big deal, release clause is included as well. Tells us that if a team wants him then they have to pay up.
Could make for an interesting summer depending on how the season starts!#VamosOrlando https://t.co/wUxl1sv5l1
