NYCFC Permanently Acquires Nicolás Acevedo From Uruguayan Club Liverpool F.C.

New York City FC today announced that the Club has acquired midfielder Nicolás Acevedo on a permanent transfer, using Allocation Money, from Uruguayan side Liverpool F.C. 

The Uruguayan youth international will join the squad upon acquisition of a P-1 visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC). Acevedo will occupy an international roster slot.

The central midfielder was awarded the “Joven Talento del 2019” by the Uruguayan Football Association which honors the best U-21 player in the country’s domestic league. The 20-year-old played 31 games as Liverpool finished 5th in the aggregate table last season.

His performances earned him a call-up to the Uruguayan U-20 national team where he helped lead his country to the Round of 16 in last year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland. Acevedo also featured extensively with the U-23s as they finished third in the CONMEBOL Olympic qualifiers behind Argentina and Brazil earlier this year.
