⭐️ MLS primary transfer window superlatives - Best window - (My) worst prediction - Best DP - Club that didn’t do enough - Most “classic MLS” transaction & much more www.givemesport.com/mls-transfer...

Sources: Minnesota United finalizing deal to sign Julian Gressel from Inter Miami. Breakthrough has been reached. If all goes smoothly here, Gressel heads to Loons. Gressel fit in Ramsay system + providing service to Yeboah/Tani should be strong. Miami open salary cap space.

Sources: Columbus Crew acquire Ibrahim Aliyu from the Houston Dynamo. Aliyu, 23, scored 6 goals last year. Good for both sides. Aliyu gets change of scenery, adds to options for Crew. Houston get some GAM.

Sources: Minnesota United in advanced talks to acquire Julian Gressel from Inter Miami. Nothing done yet. Still details to figure out. Optimism something gets done, but not there yet.

BREAKING: Austin FC have acquired Finland int'l winger Robert Taylor from Inter Miami, per sources MIA will receive $700k GAM for Taylor, who is on very team-friendly cap number for 2025 Taylor, 30, joins opulent ATX attack around Uzuni, Vazquez & Bukari www.givemesport.com/mls-transfer...

When the Whitecaps went up for sale, it was easy to imagine an unstable future and rough 2025. Nope. They're top of MLS and taking on Messi in the ConcaChampions semis. Jeff Mallet: “We have so much at stake." "We’re here to seize the moment," Jesper Sørensen said. www.nytimes.com/athletic/629...

I could have made myself available……,

I feel so bad for the player here. Róbert Boženík really wanted the move. Completed his medical on Tuesday. Been at the facility today too. Was gonna get a nice pay raise, too. Now he's the one left holding the bag because Boavista went back on an agreement.

Sources: Real Salt Lake have completed a deal to acquire Willy Agada from Sporting KC. Deal around $500k GAM + $350k GAM add-ons. Club confident in his ability to lead the line, a proven MLS goalscorer. RSL have flexibility to add DP in summer if they want.

Sources: Real Salt Lake's potential deal to Slovakia int'l Róbert Boženík from Boavista is off Clubs verbally agreed to terms a week ago. After Boženík traveled to complete the move, Boavista tried to change terms Unless they reverse course, deal is dead www.givemesport.com/mls-transfer...

Sources: Real Salt Lake's potential deal to acquire Willy Agada from Sporting KC is around $500k + another $350k add-ons. Agada's contract up at the end of 2025. I assume portion of add-ons includes if he re-signs.
