Vancouver Whitecaps FC acquired a 2020 international roster spot from the Portland Timbers on Saturday in exchange for $165,000 in general allocation money.
“We had an opportunity to acquire an international spot and timing was right,” Axel Schuster, Whitecaps FC sporting director, said in a statement. “This trade gives us additional roster flexibility for the year.”
The move gives Vancouver 11 international spots through 2020 with nine international players on its roster.
