News has been slow moving this offseason for the Philadelphia Union but it hasn’t been insignificant.
Moves like trading away homegrown rights for Kalil ElMedkhar and Tomas Romero, sending draft picks to Nashville SC coupled with the transfers of homegrown stars Brenden Aaronson and Mark McKenzie have once again armed Sporting Director Ernst Tanner and Technical Director Chris Albright with a war chest to go after players to strengthen the squad.
Last year the number was somewhere around $1.6 million in allocation money (on top of what the league gives to each team) collected through deals that helped paved the way for the acquisitions of regular starters Jamiro Monteiro (permanent transfer), Jose Martinez, Jakob Glesnes and Matej Oravec.
