González has 11 goals and 3 assists in 85 club appearances across stints with Tolima and fellow Colombian side Inter Palmira since making his professional debut in 2022.
Why it matters for Minnesota United FC
Chief soccer officer and sporting director Khaled El-Ahmad said: “We are pleased to welcome Mauricio to Minnesota United. He is a young, dynamic player with real upside.”
The Loons earned a club-record 58 points in 2025 under Eric Ramsay, who's since departed to manage English Championship side West Bromwich Albion. Cameron Knowles was subsequently named the new head coach.
What comes next?
González said: “I'm very happy and excited to join Minnesota United and do things in the best way that I can. I'm looking forward to seeing all the fans at Allianz Field, God willing, celebrating goals and championships together.”
