MLS things. A free transfer, but not really.
New York Red Bulls have signed USMNT goalkeeper Ethan Horvath from Cardiff City on a free transfer. Red Bulls also sent Charlotte FC $75k in 2026 GAM and $75k in 2027 GAM, plus the highest of RBNY’s second round draft picks in the 2027 SuperDraft, for his "discovery rights".
