“Nico is someone who has meant a lot to us since he joined the club in 2018,” said Pádraig Smith, Colorado Rapids Executive VP & General Manager. “He was a key part of the team’s transformation over the past few years, both on and off the pitch, as he brought a contagious, uplifting attitude and impeccable work ethic to our locker room. When the opportunity to play overseas presented itself to him, we were happy to help Nico achieve his dream of playing in Europe.”
Mezquida, 30, appeared in 84 matches with Colorado across all competitions, registering eight goals and nine assists across 2,802 minutes since making his Rapids debut on March 2, 2019.
