Nicolás Romero

Minnesota United Signed defender Nicolás Romero from Club Atlético Tucumán to a three-year contract through December of 2027, with a club option for 2028. Romero will occupy a U22 Initiative and international roster spot pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC).

Romero arrives at Minnesota after having played for Tucumán’s senior team since the 2021 season. With Tucumán, the center back has made 78 game appearances across all competitions, and has scored twice in over 6,500 minutes of action on the pitch.

The center back made his professional senior team debut on February 5, 2021 when he entered late in the match on the road against Independiente (Argentina), finishing out the final ten minutes of an eventual 1-0 victory.

Notably, Nicolás Romero and current Loons midfielder Joaquín Pereyra were teammates from 2021-2024 at Club Atlético Tucumán.
