TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing

FC Cincinnati have acquired winger Bryan Ramírez from Ecuadorian top-flight side LDU Quito, the club announced Thursday.

The 25-year-old Ecuadorian is under contract through the 2028-29 MLS season with an option for 2029-30.

Ramírez has produced 10g/17a in 116 appearances across all competitions for LDU Quito, helping the club secure a pair of league titles (2023, '24) and the 2022-23 Copa Sudamericana.

In June 2025, Ramírez was called up by Ecuador for 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He still awaits his national team debut.

“Bryan is a dynamic player, and we’re delighted to bring him to Cincinnati,” said general manager Chris Albright. “His intensity, attacking creativity, and personality will be a great fit in our group. We’d like to welcome him and his family to the club.”

With former MLS All-Star Luca Orellano moving to LIGA MX side CF Monterrey, Cincinnati have quickly found a replacement in Ramírez.

The Orange & Blue begin their 2026 campaign on Feb. 21 at home against Atlanta United (4:30 pm ET | Apple TV, FOX). Ahead of that, Cincinnati will open Concacaf Champions Cup play against Dominican Republic side O&M FC.
