Houston Dynamo FC has officially completed the transfer of midfielder Nicolás 'Nico' Lodeiro to his boyhood club, Club Nacional de Football in Uruguay. This move, announced on July 15, 2025, sees Lodeiro leave the Dynamo after a brief but impactful stint. The club will retain a future sell-on percentage from this transaction. President of Soccer Pat Onstad expressed gratitude for Lodeiro's contributions, highlighting his competitive spirit and leadership during his time with the Dynamo. Lodeiro joined Houston ahead of the 2025 season and quickly became a mentor within the squad, making 19 appearances and scoring one goal. His assist against CF Montréal marked his 92nd career regular season assist, placing him 10th all-time in MLS history. The Uruguayan international leaves a significant legacy in MLS, with a total of 240 regular season appearances and 51 goals across his career. Lodeiro's impact was felt not only at the Dynamo but also during his time with the Seattle Sounders and Orlando City SC, where he won multiple trophies, including the MLS Cup. On the international stage, Lodeiro represented Uruguay in two FIFA World Cups and was part of the squad that won the 2011 Copa America. This transfer marks a new chapter in Lodeiro's career as he returns to Uruguay to finish his playing days with Club Nacional.
