Montreal Impact have signed Argentine attacking midfielder Ignacio Piatti as their new Designated Player.
Piatti, who will wear No. 10, will not join the Impact until after his current club, San Lorenzo is eliminated from the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores.
"To be able to get another DP is another important step for the club," Impact sporting director Nick De Santis said in a club statement. "It was a long process, but we're excited to bring him here.
"We've said since last year that we wanted an offensive midfielder, and we are adding today a very good player, at the prime of his career, who was a catalyst for San Lorenzo in their last championship and their run in Champions League. He's very motivated to play in MLS and to be in Montreal."
