Whitecaps Sign Global Right Back Modesto | MLS News

Vancouver Whitecaps just made a major splash by signing Rui Modesto, a dynamic right back from Serie A’s Udinese, locking him in through 2029 with an option for 2030. An Angolan international with 28 goals and 32 assists in 160 games across Europe—including a league cup win and AFCON appearances—Modesto brings elite speed, work ethic, and global experience. The club’s sporting director called him a perfect fit, while Modesto himself is pumped to start this new chapter. With the Whitecaps leading the West and hungry for more trophies, this signing could be the spark they need to keep climbing.
