Xavier Ricardo Arreaga Bermello (born 28 September 1994) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a defender for the Ecuador national team.[2]

Career

Arreaga made his debut for Ecuador on 20 November 2018 in a match against Panama.[3]

After four seasons with Barcelona S.C. in the Ecuadorian Serie A, Arreaga was signed by the Sounders on 7 May 2019.[4] He joined the team later that month as a replacement for retiring defender Chad Marshall and made his debut on 26 May 2019 against Sporting Kansas City.[5]

On April 23, 2024, Arreaga was traded to the New England Revolution in return for a 2025 international roster spot and $75,000 in General Allocation Money "if certain performance metrics are met."[6] He made his first appearance, and first start, for the Revolution on April 27, 2024, in a 4-1 loss to Inter Miami CF.[7] Arreaga was named to the MLS matchday 22 "Team of the Matchday" alongside head coach Caleb Porter and teammate Giacomo Vrioni following the Revolution's 2-1 victory over FC Cinncinatti on June 22.[8]

New England declined Arreaga's contract option following their 2024 season.[9]
