I’m excited to see Jason Hernandez build this Toronto FC team post Italians & have Djordje Mihailovic be the center piece to it

46G/51A in 207 games between the Colorado Rapids, CF Montreal, & Chicago Fire

This season, Mihailovic has 11G/8A in 27 games

Fantastic name for soccer

Ronaldo Vieira heads to the San Jose Earthquakes from the Italian Serie B. He has almost 200 games played between Sampdoria, Leeds United, & a few other Italian clubs

I'm assuming the central midfield partner to Beau Leroux?

David Brekalo has been playing one hell of a LB for Orlando City in 2025... but it's not his natural position

My assumption is that this move allows Marin to slide in at LB, Brekalo can move to a CB role, and now Orlando have some strong depth with Rodrigo Schlegel off the bench

An absolute GOALAZO from Braian Ojeda and his HOT Leagues Cup continues!

Ojeda now has 3G in 3 games this tournament for Real Salt Lake!

Big goal for Ariel Lassiter tonight as he’s stepping up in a weird Santi Moreno situation

Lassiter now has 2G in 3 Leagues Cup games

No Messi no problem? Inter Miami dominate Pumas 3-1 as they secure a spot in the knockout round of Leagues Cup. Some standouts for them in the Group Stage:

De Paul - 1G/2A
Segovia - 2G
Suarez - 1G/2A
Messi - 2A

Hey Atlanta United… Saba has 1G/1A in two extended minutes of action vs Liga MX opponents. Maybe get him more minutes against MLS clubs?

Asked to share his thoughts on Leagues Cup as his side bows out, Pumas coach Efrain Juarez drops a pretty snappy assessment:

"Well, it's a different format from what we are used to. Out of 18 teams [per league], only four qualify. It means that the rest of us are pendejos [dumbasses]."

A centerback for NYCFC would have been nice Tom 🥲

Orlando City has put themselves into a good spot to advance in Leagues Cup after their 5-1 win over Necaxa. They’ve been strong! Here are some standouts from their Leagues Cup run so far:

Freeman - 2A
Ojeda - 3G/3A
Angulo - 1G/2A
Muriel - 3G

Hopefully we see them advance

I absolutely love this move. LAFC are about to open up their club (and MLS as a whole) to entire new market! Son & Bouanga in the same XI also sounds like a MLS fan’s wet dream

The German legend is officially playing for the 2nd club of his career!

I have some concerns about a 35 year old Muller in MLS… but I still feel like he’ll contribute a ton behind Brian White

Also, I can’t wait to see Thomas Muller lift the Canadian Championship trophy

I’m sure it’s more detailed than what I’m making it… but how does San Diego go from Iloski to Baird?

Iloski scored in bunches for SD in 2025. Baird hasn’t scored a goal since October of 2024…

Just doesn’t make sense to me here. Good for FC Cincinnati here too

$2.5m and not a DP is great work from Real Salt Lake

The 25 year old striker already had 2 assists in 37 minutes played for Sparta Prague this European season. In 2024/25, he had 12G/2A in 51 games for Prague

RSL’s striker room is getting packed!

Nashville SC loan Matthew Corcoran to Rhode Island FC Nashville can recall the 19-year-old midfielder at any time from the USL Championship

Nashville SC have loaned midfielder Matthew Corcoran to Rhode Island FC in the USL Championship, with the right to recall the 19-year-old at any point.

We have exercised the 2025 contract buyout on defender Joakim Nilsson.

Thanks for everything, Joakim.

🗞️ www.stlcitysc.com/news/st-loui...

Over 8,500 minutes played in the Championship, over 2,000 minutes played in the Premier League, & a slew more around English soccer

Interested to see what the plan here is with the talent on the backline… feels like someone is moving on for Charlotte FC soon

I’m sorry but how could San Diego FC not get the deal done for Iloski here? Losing him to another MLS club has got to sting just a bit…

Philadelphia Union grab another steal if you ask me

Alonso Martinez on a tear lately! His 14th goal in 2025

5G/1A in his last 5 games

#NYCFC #MLS

There is a reason why the club hasn’t won shit since 2010…

I have to say… I love the inter MLS sale mechanic so much. It’s allowed for clubs (and players) to do so much more

Annnnnd Colorado just did a lot of work to rebuild a backline that fell apart with the Awaziem sale

Interesting to me that Djordje requested the move. He must really value Robin Fraser

So much to unpack here…

$8m (potentially up to $9m) is a pretty heavy price tag for inter-MLS! I think Mihailovic is a proven DP & is a smart move for Toronto FC/Robin Fraser

This is a huge piece gone for the Rapids who now need to figure out their attack

Deal is done!

LAFC add a much needed CB in 26 year old Scottish international Ryan Porteous

He has 274 career 1st team games between Hibernian, Watford, Preston North End, & Edinburgh City. In those games has 24G/13A

The 26 year old Colombian international looks to slide into the Atlanta United midfield next to Slisz

Alzate has 172 1st team appearances between Brighton, Standard Liege, Hull City, Swindon Town, & Leyton Orient with 12G/18A

Last season he had 1 assist in 33 games for Hull

Missed this one, but Real Salt Lake bringing in 20 year old striker Marcos Zambrano who’s spent the last few seasons in Portugal

Zambrano has 20 games played between Benficas U23 & Philadelphia Union II in his career with 1G/2A
