CINCINNATI – FC Cincinnati have acquired Costa Rica international defender Ronald Matarrita (pronounced MAT-a-ree-ta) from New York City FC in exchange for $500,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM). FC Cincinnati could send an additional $100,000 in General Allocation Money if Matarrita reaches certain performance incentives. Following the acquisition, the Orange and Blue have signed Matarrita to a multi-year contract extension.
As a U.S. Permanent Resident, the Costa Rican will occupy a domestic roster spot on FC Cincinnati’s 2021 roster.
“We are happy to be able to add Ronald to our team for the 2021 MLS season,” FC Cincinnati General Manager Gerard Nijkamp said. “Not only is he a proven talent within Major League Soccer, his strengths and player profile are a great fit for our playing philosophy at a position of need. We look forward to welcoming Ronald to Cincinnati and integrating him within our club.”
