The Chicago Fire announced the acquisition of defender Allan Arigoni from Switzerland’s FC Lugano on Monday.
Arigoni, 25, arrives on loan for the 2024 season with an option to purchase. He will occupy an international slot.
“We have been able to closely evaluate Allan during his time with our partner club, FC Lugano,” Fire sporting director Georg Heitz said. “Adding a right back during this window was a priority for us, and we believe that Allan’s technical and physical abilities are well suited for the League and our game model.”
