In a move that shows the ownership group’s willingness to spend big money, the Dynamo have acquired forward Alberth Elis on a permanent transfer from Mexican club Monterrey.
Elis spent the 2017 season on loan with the Dynamo. As is the case with all loans to MLS clubs, the Dynamo had a purchase option on his contract.
A report by Julio Cesar Cruz of Honduran publication Diario Diez, the Dynamo paid Monterrey a $2.5 million transfer fee. Cruz also reported Elis is under contract through the 2021 season. The Dynamo have not confirmed either of those details.
