D.C. United acquired midfielder Gabriel Pirani on loan from Brazilian Serie A club Santos.

The deal announced Thursday runs through December 2023 and includes a purchase option.

Pirani, 21, tallied eight goals and five assists in 111 matches since 2021 with Santos, Fluminense and Cuiaba.

“Gabi is a bright young talent that will excite our fans with his technical ability and vertical play,” D.C. United president of soccer operations Dave Kasper said. “His vision and playmaking ability in the final third will complement our current group and give us an extra attacking dimension.”

Pirani’s arrival fills a void created when Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O’Brien’s loan expired earlier this month.
