All the cards are on the table for the definitive signing of Gabriel Pirani for DC United to take place in the coming days. The 21-year-old footballer arrived on loan to the capital club from Santos, a club that never found a place for him in either Fluminense or Cuiabá, and he was loaned to both institutions.
However, Pirani seems to have found his place in the world in the United States and, after Santos’ relegation and with his great need to earn money to strengthen his team and achieve promotion, his definitive sale to DC United seems to be on the horizon.

Gabriel Pirani will stay in the MLS
According to Diario AS and various national and international media, DC United have already informed Santos of their intention to carry out the purchase option present in the transfer agreement for the talented attacking midfielder born in 2002.
With the “Men-in-Black” , Gabriel Pirani has played 10 games uninterruptedly in the MLS, already being a fixture in the capital team’s scheme. Therefore, valuing his youth, the good price they would pay for him and his great adaptation, his signing aims to be both strategic and beneficial for all parties involved.

In principle, Santos would receive a figure close to 1.3 million dollars for the midfielder’s services, this being the figure agreed upon in his loan with a purchase option. Pirani currently has a contract until 2025 with Peixe .
The projection of Gabriel Pirani, who will travel at the beginning of January with the U-23 National Team to compete in the Pre-Olympic Championship in Venezuela, makes this signing a real bargain, since the footballer has proven to have the talent and level to stand out in the growing football US. According to the sources already cited, Pirani would sign until 2025 with DC United, with the option to extend for two more years.
Currently, TransferMarkt values him above 3.5 million euros, so his signing for just over a million dollars is an opportunity that DC United does not want to waste. Does Peixe make a mistake in letting him out? Time will tell.
