FC Dallas, Fabian Castillo Reportedly Finalize Deal

Rumors have been swirling around for awhile now that FC Dallas was close to signing U-20 Colombian forward Fabian Castillo. Now, Big D Soccer, SB Nation’s FC Dallas blog, is reporting that the deal has been finalized. The deal reportedly involves FC Dallas paying $700,000 for half of Castillo’s rights.

Big D Soccer has been following the story for more than a week, and previously detailed some of thinking that would lead the Toros to signing a relatively unknown and untested player to such a significant contract. FC Dallas has not signed a player to a Designated Player contract since Denilson in 2007.
