Deadline Day: Which clubs made the biggest moves? | OneFootball

By MLSsoccer staff

Deadline Day for the MLS Primary Transfer Window has come and gone, and as usual, it was chock-full of news.

Here's a recap of the notable moves before the window shut on April 23, from the major blockbusters to the more under-the-radar maneuvering.

As a quick reminder, the MLS Secondary Transfer Window runs from July 24 to August 21. Summer signing season is already on the horizon.

Austin FC

Incoming player

Austin spent big this winter after offloading Sebastián Driussi, breaking their club-record transfer fee twice in three weeks by acquiring USMNT striker Brandon Vazquez and Albanian winger Myrto Uzuni. The pair complete a DP attacking trio alongside previous club-record signing Osman Bukari. Now, an experienced veteran in Taylor joins their attacking ranks.

Columbus Crew

Incoming players

The Crew have continued to retool their already-potent attack, adding key pieces in Ibrahim and Gazdag to supplement the formidable duo of Diego Rossi and Jacen Russell-Rowe.

Los Angeles Football Club

Incoming players

As is typical in Los Angeles, the Black & Gold saw significant squad turnover this offseason, especially in midfield. Winter acquisitions Igor Jesus and Mark Delgado joined Timothy Tillman in the center of the park, where Amaya will be expected to slot in, with Raposo providing depth.

Minnesota United FC

Incoming player

After bringing in several youngsters during the offseason, the Loons made a splash by adding Gressel. The US international, renowned for his crossing ability and set-piece skills, has won seven titles during his MLS career.

New York City Football Club

Incoming player

NYCFC were mostly active in the outbound market this winter, notably selling Santiago Rodríguez for the second-highest transfer fee in club history. O'Neill, the club's only senior addition, adds a proven presence in the center of the pitch alongside captain Keaton Parks, homegrown Jonathan Shore and club legend Maxi Moralez.

Real Salt Lake

Incoming players

The Claret-and-Cobalt's offseason was marked by a major overhaul, with nearly 20 players departing and almost as many incoming to fill the gaps. These final additions (Agada and Russell) are the biggest names.

San Jose Earthquakes

Incoming players

During his first year at the helm in San Jose, Bruce Arena has acquired a legion of former Revs players from his time in New England, including Buck and Jones.

St. Louis CITY SC

Incoming player

There was no big-money signing in St. Louis this winter after a busy summer 2024 window. Instead, CITY stocked up on veterans from MLS and abroad.
