Orlando City SC acquired Colombian forward Luis Muriel on Thursday and signed him to a three-year contract through the 2026 season.

Muriel will fill a designated player roster spot. He most recently played for Atalanta BC of Italy's Serie A TIM.

"We are very excited to welcome Luis to Orlando. Whenever he's on the field, he's a player that is known to always be a threat to score, will force defenses to account for him at all times, and has the ability to combine with and make his teammates better," Orlando general manager Luiz Muzzi said in a news release. "His accolades and statistics over his career thus far speak for themselves. He's someone that we feel will help us take the next step in our pursuit to win trophies, not only this season but in the future as well."
