TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Loan
Minnesota United FC have loaned center back Mikael Marques to Allsvenskan (Swedish first division) side Västerås Sportklubb for the 2024 season, the club announced Thursday.
The deal for the 22-year-old defender includes a purchase option and opens an international roster spot.
Originally signed from AFC Eskilstuna of Sweden in early 2023, Marques made one substitute appearance off the bench for the Loons in league play, spending most of last season with the club's MLS NEXT Pro affiliate, MNUFC2.
Led by interim head coach Cameron Knowles, Minnesota's 2024 campaign gets underway on Feb. 24 at Austin FC (8:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass).
