""I couldn't be happier to be an Austin FC player," Torres said in a statement. "The ambition behind what the Club is building and the incredible soccer community there were both big factors in convincing me that this was the right move to make.""
""Facundo has proven attacking quality as shown by his stellar goal and assist numbers throughout his career," Austin FC sporting director Rodolfo Borrell said. "He is at a prime age to join us and immediately be a top contributor as we aim to push on this season.""
Facundo Torres joins Austin FC on a designated player contract through 2030 with an option for the 2030-31 season.
