TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing

Inter Miami CF have signed striker Allen Obando on loan from Ecuadorian Serie A side Barcelona Sporting Club, the club announced Tuesday.

The 18-year-old Ecuador international’s deal lasts through the 2025 MLS season with a purchase option.

While at Barcelona SC, Obando produced 4g/3a in 23 matches after developing in their academy. Internationally, Obando has two senior team appearances for Ecuador and featured prominently at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

To complete the deal, Inter Miami traded $150,000 in General Allocation Money to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in exchange for Obando’s Discovery Priority rights.

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to continue my career with a new challenge at a great club like Inter Miami,” said Obando. “I’m ready to get to work to continue growing as a player and help my teammates and the club fight for our objectives this season.”
