Ronaldo Vieira has joined the Earthquakes, having played in Italy since 2018, most recently with UC Sampdoria in Serie B. He recorded one assist in 21 matches last season. Vieira's career includes experience with Leeds United and loan spells at Torino FC and Hellas Verona. His contract extends through the 2026 season, with options for 2027 and 2028. The Earthquakes have struggled recently, winless in six matches in July, currently standing 10th in the Western Conference, just missing out on a playoff spot.
I'm very excited to be coming to San Jose and play in front of the Earthquakes fans. I describe myself as a ball-winner—a guy who breaks the other team's attack and then just gives it to the guys who can go and get the goals.
Overall in Italy, he has played 118 matches and also played 63 matches for Leeds United in England's second-division Championship league between 2015 and his departure for Sampdoria in 2018.
The Quakes have been struggling of late after a surprising start to the season under new manager Bruce Arena. They were winless over six matches in July.
San Jose currently sits 10th in Major League Soccer's Western Conference, just a point behind the Colorado Rapids for the final playoff spot.
