After four seasons in Orange and Blue, the 25-year-old leaves FC Cincinnati as the team’s all-time top goal scorer and second-most-appearance leader.

He only trailed Nick Hagglund (129) in appearances with 127. He scored 43 goals in all competitions for FC Cincinnati, four more than any other player in club history.
My heart belongs to Cincinnati,” Vazquez remarked. “These have been the best years of my career, and I will always treasure the experiences I have made here. For the past four years, Cincinnati fans have supported me and encouraged me to do what I have. Not only do I feel this way, but I know that every player on the team does too. I adore this city; it’s unique.
Cincinnati, Since the beginning, I am incredibly appreciative of your help. I would like to express my gratitude.
