This would be a stupid mistake for Nashville. They need to keep Lukas and get rid of Walker.

MacNaughton was a starter for Nashville early last season before suffering a leg injury that sidelined him until October. He’ll turn 30 in March. Made $102,000 this year. Contract expires next winter. DCU needs center backs badly.

Does he take up an international slot?

MacNaughton (Canada) and Hosei Kijima (Japan) are in the process of receiving green cards and won't count against the MLS international limit, per sources.

Assuming Kim arrives and Akinmboni leaves, D.C. United will now have 22 players under contract (including out-on-loan Kristian Fletcher).

Second stage of reentry draft tomorrow, college draft Friday, free agency and international search continue. Trades always possible, as well.
