2024 MLS In-season Transfer News/Rumors

Would just have been easier to say Mansour is the major shareholder in both clubs.

 

Not nearly as much fun though!

 

Sources: Panathinaikos interested in New York Red Bulls & Scotland int'l forward Lewis Morgan.

Greek window still open. Panathinaikos managed by Diego Alonso. No bid yet. RBNY obviously don't wanna lose Morgan.

Depay to Brazil.

Not going to say MLS missed a big opportunity here because RBNY (and Atlanta?) did try but was asking for like $30M for 2 years which is way too much. According to reports in Brazil he will earn $7M a year for 2 years. Maybe, just maybe, that could've been something doable for MLS. Still a good get by the Brazilian league which keeps on getting better and better every year.

 

Did he go to Brazil on a transfer fee?

 

Was a free agent.

 

So he was asking for 30 million on a transfer fee or
salary?

 

Salary. $15M per year for a 2 year contract.

 

$15M is to much for him, but 8M would be worth it.

 

BREAKING: The Colorado Rapids have signed American defender Reggie Cannon, per sources.

Cannon, 26, has 28 caps with USMNT. Left QPR this summer and was a free agent.

I’m told his agreement to leave QPR was set on Aug 14, making him eligible to be signed as a free agent now. pic.twitter.com/yl56XImwrR

After talking about MLS when he left I'm surprised they picked him up. Can't wait to see LDLT in MLS soon after what he said about MLS too lol.

 

The MLSPA posted the list of players who are free agents at the end of this season. Shopping season approaches . . .

 

Colorado is becoming the USMNT C team. Steffen, Mihailovic, Vines, Bassett, and now Cannon. Whatever Taylor, Smith, and Armas are using to make their case for coming to Colorado to get back into the USMNT picture, it seems to be working.

 

Not bad! Colorado and specially Nashville seem to play with the most US players. If only they can start bringing in more US players that aren't getting playing time in Europe or have being struggling in Europe for a while.

 

They've basically built a top 4 Belgian Pro squad in Colorado.

 

The Rapids now have Cannon, Mihailovic, Bassett, Vines, and Navarro under contract through 2027, and Steffen through 2026.

 

Hope he gets some help, sounds like gambling might be a serious problem for him:

Houston adding another solid MLS depth piece

More depth

 

Also, a player Olsen knows fromDC

 

Did LAFC have five open roster spots on the last day of the window, or did they also move people out?

 

The signings from LAFC II are likely filling unused "off-budget" roster sports (20-30)
