00:00St. Louis City has signed Brazilian striker Rafael Navarro from the Colorado Rapids in a record-breaking $12 million MLS
00:07trade.
00:08It is officially the largest player transfer fee ever paid in an MLS trade.
00:14The deal could rise by an additional $250,000 through performance bonuses, and Colorado also retains a future sell-on
00:23percentage.
00:24Navarro, 26, scored 38 league goals in 97 matches for the Rapids after joining from Palmeiras in 2023.
00:33He has already scored 10 goals this season, making him St. Louis' top-attacking addition.
00:40Navarro remains a designated player with his new club.
00:43The move strengthens a St. Louis side, currently 6th in the Western Conference, one place ahead of Colorado in 7th.
00:50St. Louis says Navarro is entering the prime years of his career and expects him to make an immediate impact.
