What happened: Philadelphia Union receives $250,000 in 2026 General Allocation Money. The transaction follows Tuesday's acquisition of a 22-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder through 2029-30.

Why it matters: International slots determine how many players without domestic status a club can register. The purchase gives LAFC more roster flexibility for additional international signings.

By the numbers: LAFC has spent $525,000 in 2026 GAM on two international slots since July 24: $275,000 in the CF Montreal deal and $250,000 in the Philadelphia trade.

What to watch: The next roster filing will show how LAFC uses the added slot.
