The 22-year-old Uruguayan striker joins the MLS team as its most expensive acquisition, bringing high expectations for the upcoming season.

Bruno Damiani, formerly of Uruguay's Nacional, joins the Philadelphia Union for a $3.4 million transfer fee, the highest in the club's history.
The 22-year-old striker signed a guaranteed contract through 2028, with an option for 2029, and will occupy an international roster slot.

The Union's season kicks off on February 22 against Orlando City, with Damiani expected to integrate into the squad under new manager Bradley Carnell.
