“The club would like to thank Edison for the three seasons he spent in Black-and-Red,” United general manager Lucy Rushton said in a statement. “We wish him all the best in Mexico at Atlas.” Flores arrived to D.C. in 2020 as one of United’s designated players — a mechanism that allows teams to sign a player whose salary exceeds the maximum cap. However, in three seasons, Flores was not able to give the offensive impact expected of him, following his previous stint in Mexico with his former club Morelia and on the Peruvian national team. Flores ends his time with D.C. only scoring three goals and providing eight assists in 41 games played. He scored in his final home game in United’s 2-2 draw against Toronto FC on May 21. “I am slowly getting back to the top of my game,” Flores said in Spanish on May 21. “I am trying to prepare for what’s to come with this team. Hopefully, it comes with much more goals and maybe a return back on the national team. So, I hope to keep playing and keeping my rhyme.”

In Turkey, Rodríguez scored three goals and recorded two assists in 31 appearances in all competitions. He previously played in for four teams in Liga MX, after starting his career with Colo Colo of the Chilean first division. He’s played 12 times for the Chilean national team, scoring once and securing two assists. “We are getting a proven attacker who has earned multiple caps with the Chilean National Team, and experience at top Liga MX clubs,” Kasper said. “We’re excited to add someone with his level of experience and ability, and we believe he will be an impact player for us from the start.”
