After weeks of rumors, it is finally official: Fanendo Adi no longer players for the Portland Timbers. The Timbers announced on their website this morning that Adi has been traded to USL and 2019 Major League Soccer expansion side FC Cincinnati. In exchange, the Timbers will receive $450,000 in General Allocation Money and $400,000 in Targeted Allocation Money next season, up to $100,000 in additional TAM depending on Adi’s 2019 performance, and a percentage of any international transfer before the end of the 2020 summer transfer window.
Adi’s transfer was foreshadowed when word came out over the weekend that Saturday’s 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo would be his last with the team.
