MONTREAL – CF Montreal signed midfielders Alessandro Biello and Matteo Schiavoni to their first professional contracts Wednesday.

Biello, who joined Montreal’s academy in 2019, signed a two-year homegrown player deal for this season and next with option years in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Biello has played for Canada’s under-17 and under-20 national teams.

The 17-year-old from Montreal is the son of Mauro Biello, the interim head coach of Canada’s men’s national team.
