TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing

FC Cincinnati have acquired winger Ender Echenique from Venezuelan top-flight side Caracas FC, the club announced Tuesday.

The 21-year-old Venezuela native is under contract through 2028 with an option for 2029. He will occupy a U22 Initiative roster spot.

Echenique arrives after tallying 17g/14a in 102 professional appearances in his home country. That figure includes matches in the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana.

"We'd like to welcome Ender to the club," said general manager Chris Albright. "He’s a dynamic, young player who will add to our group with his versatility and pace. We are excited to work with him and look forward to his continued development."

Just past the halfway point of the 2025 regular season, Cincy are first in the Eastern Conference and Supporters' Shield standings with 42 points.

As a summer signing, Echenique will be eligible to debut when the MLS Secondary Transfer Window opens on July 24.
