From Clint Dempsey’s move to the Seattle Sounders to Gabriel Torres’ last-minute move to the Colorado Rapids, the Major League Soccer summer transfer window saw plenty of movement in both directions.
Nearly every team was involved in signing or trading for a player between July 9 and August 8, with D.C. United, Chivas USA, and Toronto FC acquiring four players each, the highest totals in the league.
Along with Dempsey, a number of American’s playing abroad returned home, including Carlos Bocanegra, Charlie Davies, Clarence Goodson, Conor Doyle, and Jared Jeffrey, the latter two making their MLS debut’s this summer with D.C. United. And while Americans begin to stream back, plenty more South American talent has flowed into the tributaries of North America, such as Mauro Diaz and Hernan Bernardello of Argentina and Juan Luis Anongono of Ecuador.
Here’s a closer look at each MLS team’s transfer work this summer:
