Former Players
Across State Lines: Rubio Linked with Move to Uruguay
It’s been over 10 years since former Sporting KC Designated Player, Diego Rubio has played club ball in South America. Since he moved from Colo-Colo to Sporting CP in 2011, Rubio has spent his career in Europe and the United States. That could be change though as reports out of Uruguay are linking Rubio with a move back to South America and Uruguayan side, Penarol. Rubio is available on a free transfer after having his option with the Colorado Rapids declined at the end of the 2023 MLS season.
