Several MLS players are potential trade targets

The 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) season is about a month old, and teams are exploring player trades as the transfer window remains open for another month. Several players are being looked at for potential moves due to their current situations. Noel Buck from the New England Revolution has not been getting regular playing time. At just 19, he has talent but may be traded soon as clubs show interest. The Revolution received offers, but none met their demands. Duncan McGuire of Orlando City SC is a sought-after forward. Although other teams are interested, Orlando insists he is not for sale. McGuire recently returned from injury and is expected to contribute significantly to his team. Willy Agada of Sporting Kansas City is also on the radar of other clubs. He has not had many chances to play this season and could be moved if his situation does not improve. Julian Gressel, a crucial player for Inter Miami CF last season, has fallen out of favor this year. He no longer makes the matchday roster regularly, and a trade might be on the horizon. Hassani Dotson from Minnesota United requested a trade due to stalled negotiations for a new contract. His performance has been solid, and other teams are keen to acquire him. Drake Callender, the goalkeeper for Miami, is recovering from injury. Depending on the situation with the current starter, teams may try to acquire him if the offer is right. Other names to watch for potential trades include Cristhian Paredes from Portland Timbers, Oscar Verhoeven from San Jose Earthquakes, and Mahala Opoku from CF Montreal. These players may be moved as teams look to strengthen their rosters for the rest of the season.
