Deep Dive: Florian Jungwirth

The Vancouver Whitecaps have acquired veteran centre back Florian Jungwirth (32) from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for 200k in GAM. If certain incentives are met this figure could rise to 300k. Jungwirth has a Green Card so even though he is German he will not occupy an international roster slot.

Career Summary:

Jungwirth is currently in his 5th MLS season, having spent most of his career in Germany. He has played 35 Bundesliga games and 109 2. Bundesliga games. He has played mostly as a centre back or a defensive midfielder but has also turned out as a right back 42 times.
