The Chicago Fire acquired midfielder Andre Franco on loan from Portuguese side FC Porto on Wednesday.
The loan runs through 2025 and includes a purchase option.
Franco, 27, has produced 20 goals and 16 assists in 143 first-team appearances in his native Portugal with Estoril (2018-22) and Porto.
'We're excited to welcome Andre to Chicago to bolster the team as we make a push for the playoffs and look to finish the season strong,' director of football and head coach Gregg Berhalter said. 'He is an experienced midfielder who has played in several competitions across Europe, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup, and we know that he can make an impact this season.'
The Fire (10-9-6, 36 points) are currently sitting on the Eastern Conference playoff line in ninth place. Chicago hosts St. Louis City SC on Saturday night in Bridgeview, Ill.
