HERIMMAN, UTAH (Wednesday, December 16, 2020) – Real Monarchs have signed Colombian centerback Kevin Saucedo from Colombian Categoria Primera A side Millonarios F.C. through the 2021 season. Saucedo’s signing is pending league and federation approval, as well as the approval of his P-1 visa. The terms of the signing have not been disclosed.
“We are excited to announce the addition of Kevin to our Monarchs roster for 2021 as his profile and playing style already make him a formidable defender,” Assistant General Manager Tony Beltran said. “We believe that under the guidance of Jamison and our coaching staff, Kevin has the talent potential to mature into a special player.”
