Unchanged for months, D.C. United’s roster was on the cusp of major upheaval Tuesday with the imminent trade of winger Paul Arriola for an MLS-record amount, the likely transfer of teenager Kevin Paredes overseas for a club-high fee and the ongoing possibility of leading scorer Ola Kamara leaving.
Each circumstance is different but would be part of a sweeping transformation leading to the start of Coach Hernán Losada’s second season late next month.
The move that is certain to occur is Arriola to FC Dallas for $2 million in general allocation money — the largest financial transaction in the league’s 26-year history.
