Palmeiras announce Facundo Torres leaving for a United States club | OneFootball

This Friday, Palmeiras said farewell to winger Facundo Torres. The Uruguayan was permanently transferred to Austin FC of the United States, the country where the player was before joining Verdão. The figures involved in the deal were not officially disclosed.

Underwhelming spell

Despite being signed for a high fee (R$ 72 million), Facundo Torres failed to impress in a Palmeiras shirt. In 2025, the Uruguayan took the field 61 times, scored ten goals, and provided four assists. After his departure, the club posted a video on its social media thanking the player for his services.

New possibilities

Facundo Torres’ departure could mean new reinforcements for Palmeiras. In addition to freeing up a foreign player slot in the squad, the financial compensation may allow the club to sign another player in this transfer window.

Back again

Torres will return to MLS, the league in which he played from 2022 to 2024 for Orlando City. Facundo Torres stood out in the United States, scoring 47 goals and providing 19 assists over 121 matches for Orlando City. His strong performances earned him a call-up to the Uruguay national team for the 2022 World Cup.

The Uruguayan will be the “designated player” for Austin FC, meaning he will be one of the players eligible to earn a salary above the league’s cap.
