San Diego FC have permanently acquired midfielder David Vazquez from the Philadelphia Union, the clubs announced Tuesday.

In exchange for the 19-year-old US youth international, Philadelphia receive $250,000 and could get another $250k if certain performance metrics are met.

The Union also retain sell-on and trade percentages in the homegrown player, whose trade option was exercised. Vazquez logged 0g/1a in six games for San Diego after arriving on loan in July.

Vazquez featured at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup and the 2024 Concacaf U-20 Championship. He was one of several USYNT standouts on SDFC's expansion-season roster, along with Luca Bombino, Oscar Verhoeven, Aiden Harangi and Pedro Soma.

San Diego clinched the Western Conference No. 1 seed in the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs amid a historic debut season that saw them set expansion records for points (63) and wins (19). They fell to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the Western Conference Final.
