After rumors last summer that the Whitecaps were trying to bring in Canadian striker Lucas Cavallini from Club Puebla in Liga MX, only to have those efforts fall through because of Cavallini not wanting to be away from his spouse and newborn, the club finally got their man. This morning, the Vancouver Whitecaps officially announced Lucas Cavallini as the newest player, signing a designated player contract for three years with an option for 2023.
The transfer is rumored to be for around six million dollars. While the club acknowledged it was for a club-record transfer fee, Schuster was unwilling to attach a specific dollar figure to the transaction.
