Colorado Rapids have announced the signing of Brazilian striker Rafael Navarro.
The 23 year old joins the MLS club on a 12 month loan deal from Brazilian champions Palmeiras with a purchase option – the striker will be one of Colorado’s Designated Players.
“We’re thrilled to add a striker of Rafael’s quality to our roster as we continue our push to get back into the playoff race,” Rapids president Pádraig Smith said, speaking to the club’s website.
“Rafael is a talented and tenacious player who will bring a goalscoring threat and experience at the highest levels in South America to the club. We believe he can immediately improve our attacking core and look forward to welcoming him to Colorado.”
Navarro began his senior career with Botafogo before signing with Palmeiras in 2022 on a five year deal.
