Rumors, Trades, Drafts, Garber Bucks and a Lod of the usual (The Transfer thread)

Official: French center forward Adrien Hunou joins #MNUFC, his former club Stade Rennais FC said Friday.

"After 11 seasons ... the 27-year-old, club-trained striker takes the U.S. direction where he will now develop in #MLS with (#Loons). We wish you all the best Adrien!"

Awesome!

🚨🚨#Talleres está a un paso de vender a Franco Fragapane.

Uh, oh...Cincy is after Franco Fragapane as well.

 

Update: A report out of Argentina on Thursday said #MNUFC transfer target Franco Fragapane from Talleres was close to joining FC Cincinnati, but a source told the @PioneerPress that news was completely off base.

— Andy Greder (@andygreder) April 23, 2021

Minnesota have been in discussions with Talleres over Fragapane for some time and reports broke last night suggesting FC Cincinnati were in talks for him as well.

Heath seemed to note that #MNUFC have his discovery rights, too.

This season will be Jan Gregus’s last in Minnesota, per source. #MNUFC is already scouting some replacement options in Europe.

— Minnesota's Eleven (@sotaseleven) July 28, 2021

Source says #MNUFC is “actively pursuing a replacement” for Ramón Ábila, though I can’t confirm whether his loan will be terminated at this time. I will provide further updates as they become available.

Minnesota United have used a contract buyout on defender Ike Opara, sources tell me and @_jacobschneider.

Opara, 32, is a two-time MLS Defender of the Year. He last played on March 7, 2020, Minnesota’s last pre-pandemic game. He scored twice.
