Shortly after announcing that they had traded Paul Arriola away, D.C. United has acquired an international roster spot for 2022 from Nashville SC. Having just acquired $1.5 million in 2022 General Allocation Money from FC Dallas in the Arriola trade, United sent $250,000 of that GAM stockpile to Nashville to effectively rent one more international spot for a year.
United recently traded a spot to expansion club Charlotte FC for the exact same terms, but since then, things have changed. United has traded away one starter (Arriola) and has according to Pablo Maurer at The Athletic agreed to a deal transferring another, Kevin Paredes, to VfL Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga.
