Every Signing, Trade and Rumor

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

It’s MLS

transfer deadline day, and clubs around the league are working around the clock to get their final trades and signings in before midnight.

Here at GIVEMESPORT, we’ve got you covered with all the moves and transfer buzz you need to know about, including plenty of exclusive reports by Tom Bogert.

NYCFC Finalizing Deal for Australian Midfielder

New York City FC

are finalizing a deal to sign Australian international midfielder Aiden O’Neill from Belgian club Standard Liège, sources tell GIVEMESPORT.

O’Neill is a key starter for Standard, and has 17 caps with the Australian national team.

Charlotte Bring in Marshall-Rutty on Loan

Charlotte FC

have acquired winger/right-back Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty on loan from CF Montreal

, in exchange for $100,000 in GAM.

The 20-year-old has made six appearances for Montreal this season, including two starts.

Dynamo Bring In Forward

The Houston Dynamo

have acquired forward Toyosi Olusanya from Scottish Premiership side St. Mirren. Olusanya, 27, has signed a contract through 2026, with options for 2027 and 2028.

The England native has scored 22 goals and tallied six assists in 105 professional appearances in Scotland and England.

SKC Complete Munoz Signing

Sporting Kansas City

have finalized a deal to sign Mexican forward Santiago Muñoz, as reported by GIVEMESPORT.

The deal is a loan through the end of the season with a purchase option, sources add. Muñoz, 22, has American citizenship, so he won’t occupy an international slot. The forward had a prolific run with various Mexican youth national teams, earning a loan to Newcastle U-23s. He returned to Santos and has scored six first-team goals.

RSL Expecting to Sign Bozenik

Real Salt Lake

are still confident of completing a deal to sign Slovakia international forward Róbert Boženík from Boavista, sources tell GIVEMESPORT.

The player completed his medical on Tuesday and toured the facilities, but no documents have been signed and submitted yet. That is not abnormal, with plenty of time Wednesday to do so before the deadline closes.

The trickier part is Boavista.

The deal is agreed between all parties for $2 million, but one source says there’s a bit of a haggle over which currency the two-million dollar agreement was reached in. €2 million is worth around $2.3 million.

How the Trade Market is Looking

Inter Miami CF

midfielder Julian Gressel is overwhelmingly likely to be traded, with numerous clubs calling and talks progressing. Gressel is the biggest name to watch that I can say I’m expecting to move.

There are calls happening across the league for others, but there’s no guarantee on the players I’ve heard that it doesn’t make sense to speculate. There are, of course, plenty more I don’t know about. We’ll see what shakes down on deadline day.

A lot of teams need to move a player out to make the space to bring a player in, which is gumming up talks, multiple sources say.

With

Sporting KC signing Mexican forward Santiago Muñoz
, multiple sources in the league have reached out to me asking about Willy Agada. Several clubs have called about Agada this window — Real Salt Lake and the Columbus Crew being two who looked into it — but SKC rebuffed all advances. They made it clear they wanted to keep Agada.

Becher Staying in St. Louis

St. Louis CITY SC

have exercised the purchase option on forward Simon Becher, sources tell GIVEMESPORT.

Becher joined the club on loan last summer from Danish club AC Horsens. The loan was set to expire at the end of June. The club are happy with Becher and doing it now takes away any doubt and ensures there isn’t a waiting period between the loan expiring (end of June) and the summer transfer window opening (July 24).

Becher, 25, has seven goals and two assists in around 1,300 minutes across all competitions since joining last season. He has appeared in all nine of the club’s MLS matches this season, starting four. He’s a valuable member of the squad.
