Aranguiz, 21, follows in the footsteps of Mauro Diaz, who joined FC Dallas in 2013 from Union Espanola, where he had spent two seasons on loan from River Plate.

Diaz was transferred to Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC of the UAE Arabian Gulf League three weeks ago. On Monday, FC Dallas made a trade with Colorado, sending Kellyn Acosta to the Rapids for Dominique Badji.

Aranguiz was named the top U-20 player in the Chilean league in 2017 when Union Espanola finished second. He had five goals in 13 games in 2018.
