GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Minnesota United announced today that the club has acquired winger Tomás Chancalay in a cash-for-player trade from the New England Revolution in exchange for $100,000. Additionally, New England will retain a sell-on percentage if Chancalay is transferred out of MLS.

Minnesota United has signed Chancalay through the 2027-28 season with a club option for the 2028-29 season.

"We're happy to welcome Tomás Chancalay to Minnesota United," said MNUFC Chief Soccer Officer and Sporting Director Khaled El-Ahmad. "He's a versatile attacking player with MLS experience who has the ability to impact games in a variety of ways. We believe he will complement our playing style and strengthen our attack."

"I am really excited and happy to play with Minnesota United and in front of the fans at Allianz Field soon," said winger Tomás Chancalay. "I am ready to work and give fans exciting moments to experience together."

Chancalay joins Minnesota United after two-and-a-half seasons with the Revs, where he scored 17 goals and recorded three assists in 58 appearances for the club across all competitions. In 2025, Chancalay scored four goals and tallied two assists in 26 appearances after coming back from an ACL injury sustained in May 2024.

Chacalay's soccer career started in CA Colón's youth system in 2006, signing his first professional contract in 2017 with the Argentine club and making his professional debut on August 26, 2017. He appeared in 80 matches for CA Colón, tallying eight goals and seven assists.
