It slipped under the radar with everyone in the U.S. distracted by the Thanksgiving holiday and the World Cup, but Ecuadorian side LDU de Quito made the loan of Orlando City forward Alexander Alvarado permanent on Friday, officially announcing that the Serie A club has exercised its purchase option and signing him for the next five seasons.
While I’ll never understand the practice of posting a photo of a press release in a tweet, the Ecuadorian side stated:
We hereby inform you that we have reached an agreement for the definitive purchase of the sports rights of Alexander Alvarado, who will be linked to Liga Deportiva Universitaria for 5 seasons.
