Sporting Kansas City officially made their first signing of 2017 when they inked a deal, with a transfer fee, for Gerso Fernandes. The deal, likely because of the rumored 1.5 million transfer fee, will make Fernandes a Designated Player and require that the club buy down one of their existing DPs (Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza or Diego Rubio).
The deal for Gerso won’t (hopefully) be the last of the offseason. Of course there is the rumored Latif Blessing signing. Though there are several indications that more moves are in the works.
