Got a bit of an update on Jesús Ferreira. It’s apparently a fitness issue, not an injury one. Ferreira basically wasn’t game-fit, which isn’t a huge shock given that he last played 90 mins on Oct. 2. He’s apparently joining Sounders on Friday.

Tacoma Defiance add two promising youngsters. https://t.co/oS959At6Ku

The Sounders are officially back in preseason. Here’s what you need to know: https://t.co/f5qNUTZsvX

Jeremiah is getting ready bounce but the Lobbing Scorchers is still going on their livestream. https://t.co/YrD6SGEqZX

[Sounder At Heart @sounderatheart]

@SoundersFC another one?

[Jeremiah Oshan @JeremiahOshan]

This improved rapidly apparently. Kim had signed with Sounders, I’m told.

[Jeremiah Oshan @JeremiahOshan]

Interest side note to the acquisitions of Ferreira and Arriola is Sounders have two more bilingual players. Cristian Roldan mentioned having guys like that helps bridge the language gap. By my count, they have 8 players who are pretty much fluent in English and Spanish.

[Paul Arriola @PaulArriola]

Thank you all for the wonderful reception here in Seattle. Can’t wait to represent this wonderful club and help bring trophies to the best fans in MLS 💚 @SoundersFC

Don’t know exactly how much Dallas ended up taking, but have confirmed they are paying a decent chunk of Arriola’s salary. Dallas apparently absorbing hit with GAM. Combined with new contract, Arriola hits Sounders cap at around $700k.

The Philadelphia Union are currently listed on FIFA's Registration Ban list.

According to FIFA, "This list includes clubs temporarily prohibited from registering new players due to various infractions, such as financial disputes or regulatory breaches. Serving as an essential tool for Member Associations, confederations, clubs, players, and agents, the FIFA Registration Ban List helps ensure transparency and compliance within the sport, allowing stakeholders to stay informed about which clubs are ineligible to sign new players during the ban period."

The Union have been banned from registering players since December 4, 2024, with the ban set to last for three registration periods.

Notably, the Union are the only American club currently on the list.

For context, in January 2024, the LA Galaxy faced a similar ban due to a $4,500 training compensation dispute, which was lifted once resolved.

The Philadelphia Union did not immediately respond to my request for comment.
