The boys go LIVE to discuss Austin FC acquiring Uruguay international winger Facundo Torres from Palmeiras.
Torres joins the club as a Designated Player on a deal guaranteed through the 2029-30 season with an option for 2030-31. Torres will occupy Senior and Designated Player roster slots on the Austin FC roster. He holds a U.S. Green Card and as a U.S. Permanent Resident does not occupy an international roster slot.
Torres, 25, played three previous seasons in MLS from 2022 to 2024 with Orlando City. He totaled 47 goals and 25 assists in 123 games for Orlando, where he set new club records for goal contributions, all-time goals scored, and goals in a single season. He scored two goals in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup Final to lead Orlando to their first trophy.
He transferred to Palmeiras after the 2024 MLS season, and in 2025 provided 10 goals and six assists in 61 matches, playing four times in the FIFA Club World Cup and 11 in the Copa Libertadores as Palmeiras reached the final.
At the senior international level, Torres has made 22 appearances for his native Uruguay, including nine FIFA World Cup qualifiers and five Copa América games. He scored against Uzbekistan in a 2-1 win last October, his second international goal.
