The 2017 FC Dallas roster is starting to take shape. FC Dallas has signed 20-year-old Ecuadorian left back, Aníbal Chalá pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and ITC.
The important thing to note in this move is that he will not occupy a Designated Player slot or that Targeted Allocation Money was not used to sign Chala.
“We’ve been watching him for about a year and when you come up with a player like this, who has been with his youth national team and you have an opportunity to grab him, you grab him,” FC Dallas Technical Director Fernando Clavijo said.
