#Crew96
Giaccone’s number might not be the most impressive, but every video I’ve seen of Lautaro looks fun and good.
Excited and interested to see how Courtois deploys him #Crew96 💛🖤
💛🖤 WELCOME TO COLUMBUS, LAUTARO!
Columbus Crew have officially announced the signing of Lautaro Giaccone on loan from Argentinos Juniors through the summer of 2027. The deal includes a purchase option.

🇺🇾 BREAKING: CF Monterrey is finalizing a deal to sign forward Diego Rossi from the Columbus Crew, per sources.
- Fee up to $8m
- Should be done soon
- Crew will be busy this summer with 2 DP spots open (Abou Ali placed on SEI, per sources) https://t.co/DeicdWha4n
New report here says Rossi’s fee will be $7.2 million. Contradicts the reports of around a $6 million fee earlier
Either way it’s in that range. I’m very intrigued to see what Issa and Bez have up their sleeves #Crew96
💣 ATENCIÓN, RAYADOS 💣
Estoy en posición de confirmarle a toda la fanaticada del Monterrey que Diego Rossi costó 7.2 millones de dólares.
Usted está bien informado aquí en Multimedios. Nosotros no somos 'Notichiripas'.
@Dylan21104124 Yea I don’t think he comes to Columbus, I would just love to see it. I think if he does move on, he stays in MLS somewhere, that’s where his value is the highest at right now
Would be the dream. Courtois played more of a 3412 in Montreal so it wouldn’t be totally new to him.
Get Cuypers to replace WAA this season in a 3421. Then pair them together with a more traditional DP 10 under them next year. Cookin #Crew96 💛🖤
@Dylan21104124 And if it doesn’t work next year, you have what is proven to be one of the best goal scorers in the league. And as much as I love Wes, he is injury prone at this point and don’t think his value has dropped in Egypt/EU
They are 10 in east rn, take the chance. Have nothing to lose
@Dylan21104124 I think Wes’ ability to drop in and his quality with the ball at his feet can make it work.
Even if they aren’t sure how it will work, I think you still take they chance at getting the golden boot leader, and maybe the best 9 in the league, if you have that chance
@MLS_Zone_@FelipeGalindot@CLMerlo@ColumbusCrew@Rayados Agreed. He can bring more of a traditional playmaker profile as well, something the Crew have lacked since Cucho and Zelarayán left.
Also has the Abou Ali connection, who could potentially help with the recruitment
🚨BREAKING: Diego Rossi is close to becoming a player for CF Monterrey!
@FelipeGalindot reports that the deal is being finalized and awaiting medicals. @CLMerlo is reporting that Rossi is one step closer to joining Rayados.
Rossi scored 51 goals in 3 seasons with #Crew96 💛🖤
@Dylan21104124@MLS_Zone_@FelipeGalindot@CLMerlo@ColumbusCrew@Rayados Potentially but I think that was a little more out of necessity than him moving there. His underlying defensive numbers are bad.
I think the potential new signing Giaccone could be converted there. Has some solid defensive numbers for a winger/midfielders
@MLS_Zone_@FelipeGalindot@CLMerlo@ColumbusCrew@Rayados Still have Picard, Taha, Akhundzada, Gazdag. Also reportedly signing Lautaro Giaccone from Argentinos Juniors.
I’d fully expect them to bring in at least 1 DP, if not 2 with WAA able to go on SEI list. Have been loosely linked with Emam Ashour from Al Ahly as a DP option #Crew96
If this does in fact go through, it would truly be the end of an era in Columbus💛🖤
2 titles, CCC runners-up, some of the best soccer this league has ever seen. Diego Rossi was one of the final huge members remaining #Crew96
Rafael Santos Borré appears set to join River Plate. Crew were linked earlier this week.
#Crew96 will now have to pivot in their search for a No. 9 following the injury to Wessam Abou Ali. 💛🖤
