Austin FC are on the verge of completing a club-record deal for the second time in one year, but this time, the Western Conference side has its sights set on Brandon Vázquez.
The striker is set to depart CF Monterrey to return to Major League Soccer as one of Austin's Designated Players for a fee of $10 million, per GiveMeSport's Tom Bogert. Vázquez is coming off a 14-goal haul for the Liga MX side in 2024.
The 26-year-old is no stranger to MLS. Vázquez enjoyed a two-year stint with Atlanta United in which he helped the club win the Supporters' Shield. He then joined FC Cincinnati in 2019 where he scored 42 goals and was named an MLS All-Star in 2022.
