One of the biggest question hovering over the Portland Timbers’ offseason was answered this morning when the team announcing the permanent signing of Felipe Mora. Having spent last season on loan with the Timbers, the 27-year-old Chilean international was originally set to return to Pumas UNAM in Mexico. With today’s announcement, Pumas has a transfer fee for their former attacker, and the Timbers have Mora back on a new, multi-year deal.
“Having Felipe on loan in 2020 provided an invaluable extended scouting opportunity and reinforced the fact that he is a high quality player with tremendous values who will continue to help the Timbers win,” Gavin Wilkinson, the team’s general manager, said in the announcement.
