“I am very happy to join this club here in Minnesota,” said defender Kluiverth Aguilar. “I am excited to come aboard, and I look forward to contributing my experience to help achieve our shared goals the rest of this season.”
“We welcome Kluiverth to the team and look forward to seeing him continue to develop his skills and grow as a player here at our club,” said MNUFC2 Head Coach Fanendo Adi. “His depth of playing experience at his age is impressive and will be a valuable addition to our squad for the rest of the year.

Kluiverth Aguilar joins MNUFC2 after recently featuring for Belgian topflight side Lommel SK from 2022-26. With Lommel, the Peruvian defender made 62 game appearances, scoring once and providing three assists in over 4,800 minutes played across all competitions.
Aguilar’s professional career began in his home country of Peru, where he played for Alianza Lima from 2019-21, making 35 total game appearances, including two substitute features in Copa Libertadores matches. The young defender then joined Manchester City in 2021 and was immediately sent on a loan spell with Lommel, the sister club of Manchester City.
