The veteran American striker joins Austin FC after a disappointing stint with the USMNT, hoping to find his form and earn more time with the national team.
Vázquez's reported deal with Austin comes just months after the team signed Osman Bukari for a then-club record of $7 million. The Ghana international winger signed a contract through the 2027 MLS season and occupies a Designated Player roster spot. The two new attackers will bring some much-needed goalscoring prowess to Austin. The team only managed to score 39 goals in the 2024 MLS season, the lowest in the Western Conference.
They recorded a 10th place finish in the Western Conference standings after securing just 11 wins in 34 matches. A resurgence for Vázquez in MLS could not only help Austin bounce back from a rather underwhelming season, but could also help the striker earn more minutes on Mauricio Pochettino's. Vázquez only featured off the bench in both legs of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals against Jamaica. Vázquez enters 2025 with 11 appearances and four goals for the USMNT. A successful stint at Austin could pave the way for a greater role in the Stars and Stripes' Concacaf Nations League title defense
