The MLS summer transfer window closes on Wednesday, August 7 at 11:59 pm CT and we're tracking all the latest moves ahead of the deadline.

Here are some other resources that should prove helpful during what we expect to be a very busy day:

Thursday, Aug. 8, 2:05pm

The Seattle Sounders beat the buzzer with a few signings, too.

Seattle added central midfielder Emanuel Cecchini on loan from Spanish side Malaga CF with the help of TAM and brought MLS veteran Luis Silva back to the league after a stint with FC Honka of the Finnish first division.

How important will these moves be as clubs jockey for places 2-9 in the Western Conference?

Thursday, Aug. 8, 1:05pm

The Houston Dynamo have work to do if they are to clamber back into the Western Conference playoff picture, and their deadline-day dealings reflect that. La Naranja have now announced the arrival of winger Niko Hansen via a trade with the Columbus Crew, offering another wide option for coach Wilmer Cabrera.

Thursday, Aug. 8, 11:01am

They did it again, didn't they?

The LA Galaxy have acquired 23-year-old Argentinian World Cup star Cristian Pavon on loan with option to buy from Boca Juniors. He won't count as a DP this season.

Where to start? This is a player who was rumored for a $40 million-ish move to Europe after the World Cup, with Arsenal among other heavyweights vying for his signature. He will immediately become one of the league's most exciting players when in form and elevate the Galaxy's attack, which has taken criticism for being too Zlatan-heavy.

It was the domino we've all been waiting to fall, the No. 1 saga of the Secondary Transfer Window. It'd be poetic if he's the last signing announced, but there may still be more we haven't learned about yet. Stay tuned.

Thursday, Aug. 8, 10:07am

Oh man, a little GAM for TAM to set the table for the rest of the day. Get juiced.

Acquired some GAM for some TAM.#Crew96https://t.co/OBau2oe5HW — Columbus Crew SC (@ColumbusCrewSC) August 8, 2019

Thursday, Aug. 8, 9:56am

Good morning! Just because the window is closed, that doesn't mean more deals won't leak out. If paperwork was completed late last night, moves can be announced today.

FC Cincinnati are proof positive this AM, announcing two signings.

First, three-time capped US international Joe Gyau from German side MSV Duisburg. The 26-year-old has spent his entire career in Germany, though most of his senior appearances have come in the German third tier.

Next, they acquired Haitian winger Derrick Etienne Jr. from the New York Red Bulls on loan with option to buy. Etienne, a Red Bulls Homegrown, has had difficulty finding playing time under Chris Armas, with just five starts this season. The 26-year-old made five starts in 2019.

The pair of players give new head coach Ron Jans more ammo to play the Dutch-favored 4-3-3 formation, adding to the club's depth of pacey wingers.

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 11:20pm

Reports out of either end of Canada are saying that a mooted trade of striker Anthony Jackson-Hamel from Montreal to Vancouver have fallen apart at the 11th hour, literally, with the two clubs unable to reach terms on how the Canadian international's 2019 salary-cap hit would be split:

Multiple sources: Caps/Impact couldn’t agree on who would picks up remainder of salary owed to Anthony Jackson-Hamel for 2019 season. Deal is off. — Patrick Johnston (@risingaction) August 8, 2019

Les mouvements de personnel sont terminés pour #IMFC, qui n’a pu s’entendre avec les #VWFC pour le transfert de Jackson-Hamel. Selon mes infos les Caps voulaient que #IMFC défraie le salaire du joueur jusqu’à la fin de la saison... En gros, ils le veulent gratuitement. 🙅🏻‍♂️🚫 — Arcadio Marcuzzi (@_marcuzzi) August 8, 2019

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 9:45pm

The long Cristian Pavon-to-LA saga looks set to wrap up with the Galaxy signing the 2018 World Cup veteran on loan from Boca Juniors in his native Argentina.

.@LAGalaxy say the deal for Pavon is now complete. It's a loan funded through TAM. The club has an option to extend the loan one additional season and following the 2020 season the club will have an option to purchase the player's rights. — Kevin Baxter (@kbaxter11) August 7, 2019

Pavon's status as a TAM player in 2019 means LA can keep him on their roster along with their three current Designated Players: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Jonathan Dos Santos and Romain Alessandrini. However, The Athletic's Paul Tenorio reports that LA would likely have to open up a DP slot in 2020 should they wish to extend his stay in Southern California.

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 9:40pm

After an unsuccessful stint with Sporting Kansas City, Kelyn Rowe is on the move again as the midfielder has been traded to Real Salt Lake for $75,000 in Targeted Allocation Money and an international roster spot. The midfielder played 690 minutes with Sporting, but has not appeared in a match for two months.

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 9:00 pm

Minnesota United FC completed a much-rumored move on Wednesday night, completing the signing of Uruguayan youth international Thomas Chacon. The 18-year-old was signed as a Young Designated Player and the transfer from Danubio FC reportedly cost the Loons $4 million.

you're at your best

when you're alone

above the fray

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 8:45 pm

Are the Houston Dynamo making another late deal? Htown-based journalist and former Dynamo front-office executive Lester Gretsch says so, reporting that winger Niko Hansen, a 24-year-old Danish-American who's only played 246 league minutes this season, is headed from Columbus to the Bayou City:

.@HoustonDynamo continue making moves. Club has acquired Danish MF Nikolaj “Niko” Hansen from @ColumbusCrewSC in exchange for Targeted Allocation Money. Deal should be announced soon as well. — Lester Gretsch🇨🇭🇩🇪🇨🇷 (@LesterDeportes) August 7, 2019

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 8:30 pm

Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake are doing some deadline-night business, according to a Kansas City Star report. Creative midfielder Kelyn Rowe is apparently on the move from SKC to RSL in exchange for a 2019 international roster spot and $75,000 in Targeted Allocation Money.

#SportingKC has traded Kelyn Rowe to Real Salt Lake in exchange for $75,000 in TAM and an international roster spot, per sources: https://t.co/S07sx5xRAo — Sam McDowell (@SamMcDowell11) August 8, 2019

Rowe moved to the Midwest from the New England Revolution in a three-way trade in December, but the onetime US national team pool member has not found his best form with Sporting. Interestingly, the two clubs will face off at Children's Mercy Park this weekend.

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 8:04 pm

The runaway league leaders added yet another weapon to their arsenal around sundown on the East Coast, as LAFC announced the acquisition of Uruguayan attacker Brian Rodriguez from Peñarol, the same club that sold Diego Rossi to the Black & Gold ahead of their 2018 expansion debut.

The 19-year-old winger is highly rated as both a scorer and creator, arrives on a Young Designated Player contract and if media reports of a transfer fee in the neighborhood of $11 million are accurate, he's one of the most expensive transfers in MLS history.

Wednesday, Aug. 7, 7:01 pm

Christian Ramirez is on the move for a second summer deadline day in a row, after being traded to the Houston Dynamo by LAFC one year and one day after arriving in Southern California.

📰 Official: We have acquired Christian Ramírez from LAFC



👋 Welcome to Houston, @Chris_Ramirez17 #ForeverOrangehttps://t.co/726UpIPSJ9 — Houston Dynamo (@HoustonDynamo) August 7, 2019

Ramirez, 28, has proven himself as a capable goalscorer at the MLS level with 27 goals in two-and-a-half years in the league, and has two caps for the US national team.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 6:19 pm ET

The Montreal Impact have welcomed Ballou Tabla home, as the academy product joins Remi Garde's club on loan for six months from Barcelona B.

Tabla, 20, first turned pro with the Impact in 2017, when he scored two goals and two assists in 21 regular-season appearances.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 6:01 pm ET

The New York Red Bulls have announced the acquisition of English winger Josh Sims on loan through the end of the 2019 season.

The 22-year-old product of the vaunted Southampton academy has also spent time on loan at fellow English club Reading.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 5:46 pm ET

Michael Azira is on the move again.

From me and @PaulTenorio: Chicago and Montreal are finalizing a deal that will send Micheal Azira to the Fire. Unclear what Montreal will receive in return for the 31-year-old central midfielder, who has 19 appearances and 16 starts this season. — Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) August 7, 2019

Azira, who turns 32 in a few weeks, was acquired by the Impact around this time last year. The Fire will be his fourth MLS team in six seasons.

The Impact get the No. 1 spot in the Allocation Order, which they are set to use to add Ballou Tabla on loan from Barcelona B.

Selon mes infos, #IMFC obtient en retour le 1er rang d'allocation (Ballou) et le défenseur Jorge Corrales. https://t.co/pHV7hoykRN — Nicolas A Martineau (@nikmartineauTVA) August 7, 2019

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 5:39 pm ET

Details have begun to emerge surrounding the Dynamo's reported acquisition of Christian Ramirez from LAFC.

Christian Ramirez has been traded to Houston, sources tell @PaulTenorio and me. #LAFC will receive $250k in combined GAM/TAM plus escalators. Trade first reported by @victoraraiza. More: https://t.co/oe1cYGyKHl — Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) August 7, 2019

Ramirez was acquired for $1 million in allocation from Minnesota United a year ago, so the price could potentially be a shrewd pick up by the Dynamo.

Now: Will he be acquired to partner Mauro Manotas, or is he added to replace him?

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 5:01 pm ET

As the Galaxy continue their pursuit of making room for Cristian Pavon -- and, still, no deal is complete for the Argentine -- L.A. might offload another veteran.

TRANSFER NEWS: Jorgen Skjelvik could be on the move if the Galaxy can make a deal with Hammarby



⭐️ https://t.co/kBgEHgR8M4#LAGalaxy #MLS — Corner Of The Galaxy (@GalaxyPodcast) August 7, 2019

Galaxy ownership AEG own 45% of Hammarby, it should be noted.

Skjelvik has made 14 starts for the Galaxy this season though hasn't overly impressed since joining ahead of the 2018 season. With a significant budget charge making him one of the league's most expensive defenders, the Galaxy could free up some money.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 4:51 pm ET

Christian Ramirez might be on the move.

Trade rumor: Former #MNUFC forward Christian Ramirez could be on the move for a second straight #MLS transfer window. The word is #LAFC is working to move Ramirez to Houston Dynamo. After he left #Loons last August, Ramirez has six goals, two assists in 1,217 minutes with L.A. — Andy Greder (@andygreder) August 7, 2019

Ramirez hasn't quite lived up to expectations with LAFC after being acquired nearly a year ago to the day for up to $1 million in allocation money. The 28-year-old has started just one of LAFC's last seven matches.

Could this potential deal mean anything for the future of Mauro Manotas? The Dynamo talisman is subject of interest abroad, particularly in Liga MX.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 4:26 pm ET

Reinforcements for the Red Bulls?

Hearing #RBNY is finalizing a loan deal for winger Josh Sims from Southampton. An announcement should be made soon — Dylan Butler (@Dylan_Butler) August 7, 2019

Josh Sims, a 22-year-old English winger, has made 20 Premier League appearances for Southampton, though just four starts. He had two assists in 17 appearances (five starts) on loan with Reading in the Championship last year.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 4:11 pm ET

Hmmmmmm....

Brian Rodriguez, anyone?

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 3:03 pm ET

It's official: Ola Kamara is back in MLS.

D.C. United have acquired the Norwegian international from Chinese side Shenzhen F.C. for a $2.5 million fee, the club announced Wednesday. He left the Galaxy for the Chinese Premier League earlier this year. The club first had to acquire the No. 1 spot in the 2019 Allocation Ranking from the Colorado Rapids in exchange for $200,000 GAM.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 2:59 pm ET

It appears that Cristian Pavon is in training with the LA Galaxy ahead of his potential move to the club.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 2:32 pm ET

Diego Rossi is a wanted man. According to a report, Fiorentina are ready to pay up to $17 million for the Uruguayan.

El conjunto 'viola' estaría dispuesto a desembolsar cerca de unos 17 millones de dólares para hacerse de inmediato con el delantero 🤑🤑 https://t.co/wj7rJDSyrQ — TUDN USA (@TUDNUSA) August 7, 2019

Rossi, 21, is enjoying a fantastic second season in MLS, with 13 goals and five assists in 23 appearances.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 2:17 pm ET

After signing Bojan, the Montreal Impact aren't done adding attacking pieces.

Barcelona B announced that the club had sent winger Ballou Tabla on loan to the Impact for the rest of the season, back to the club where the Canadian broke through.

📝 [ÚLTIMA HORA] El jugador Ballou Tabla jugarà cedit al Impact Montreal (Canadà), de la Conferència Est de la MLS, fins el proper 31 de desembre.#BarçaB #ForçaBarça🔵🔴 pic.twitter.com/iv4c6BN6nz — FC Barcelona B (@FCBarcelonaB) August 7, 2019

The 20-year-old hasn't found regular playing time in his year and a half in Spain and will look for it at Montreal, though he joins a crowded locker room for attacking minutes. With Ignacio Piatti, Lassi Lappalainen, Orji Okwonkwo, Maxi Urruti and others already on the team, it won't be easy for Ballou to break in.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 1:11 pm ET

Turns out GAM doesn’t equal TAM. @LAGalaxy got back just $136,000 in TAM for the $200k it gave Orlando city in GAM. That’s a GAM-TAM scam and leaves a bit short in the Pavón negotiations — Kevin Baxter (@kbaxter11) August 7, 2019

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 1:01 pm ET

Heavily-rumored, now official: D.C. United have acquired LA Galaxy midfielder Ema Boateng in exchange for $250,000 TAM.

Boateng, 25, adds depth to the D.C. attacking ranks while moving the Galaxy one step closer to acquiring Pavon.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 12:34 pm ET

After years of speculation, Bojan has joined MLS.

The former wunderkind, once Europe's brightest prospect and considered to be the next Lionel Messi, has joined the Montreal Impact as a free agent after leaving Stoke City.

Bojan, 28, can help accentuate an already-strong Impact attack when healthy, with Ignacio Piatti, Lassi Lappalainen, Orji Okwonkwo and Maxi Urruti. He most often plays No. 10 or second striker, though is comfortable playing on the wings as well.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 12:03 pm ET

Nashville SC have made another splash, acquiring defensive midfielder Anibal Godoy from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for $650,000 GAM. He will remain with the Quakes this season as the trade doesn't take effect until January 1, 2020.

Godoy, 29, has made 99 appearances for the Quakes since joining in 2015 and is the fifth player to join Nashville's inaugural roster for 2020 alongside David Accam, Derrick Jones, Cameron Lancaster and Daniel Ríos. He will immediately add defensive stability and MLS experience to the expansion side next year.

He is currently out with an abdominal injury, though should return soon.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 11:22 am ET

There are a couple of new faces at training for D.C. United today.

One confirmed addition -- Felipe -- and one heavily reported acquisition -- Emmanuel Boateng -- are wearing the D.C. crest at training with new teammates.

Felipe Martins and Ema Boateng arrived for #DCU training this morning. Official team announcement to come... pic.twitter.com/DaPiCbYccB — Emily Olsen (@EmilyTOlsen) August 7, 2019

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 10:20 am ET

It's official: Gaston Sauro has left Columbus Crew SC for Liga MX's Toluca for an undisclosed transfer fee.

Sauro, 29, joined the Crew in 2015 though had yet to play a key role for a full season in Columbus prior to this one, which he made 15 starts. The Crew have been busy this summer, as Sauro represents the fourth departure while the club have added five players, including goalkeeper Eloy Room and young DP Luis Diaz.

The move will likely continue to benefit Homegrown center back Aboubacar Keita, who has started the club's last four games. He made his debut in July, not long after returning from playing regularly at the U-20 World Cup for the United States.

Wednesday, Aug. 7 – 8:52 am ET

Not much to catch up on since last night, though this presents a good time to round up a few storylines to watch for today:

Tuesday, Aug. 6 – 9:42 pm ET

Brian Rodriguez to LAFC a done deal?

⚽️📝@Brodriguez_16 ya es jugador de @LAFC. Hace unas horas firmó contrato con el equipo de la #MLS 4 años y 1/2 con opción a uno más. Excelente negocio para @OficialCAP que recibe 8 millones más el 30% de una futura venta.



Junto a sus abogados @agustin_alopez y Martín Acosta pic.twitter.com/iGQ5yX8gF4 — Karen Todoroff (@karentodoroff) August 7, 2019

Rodriguez, 19, just broke through in Peñarol's first team, the same club that LAFC young star Diego Rossi made his professional debut with. A versatile attacker, Rodriguez played in the 2019 U-20 World Cup in Poland for Uruguay, and is capable of setting up goals as well as scoring.

Tuesday, Aug. 6 – 8:42 pm ET

Bojan has landed north of the border. It appears the Montreal Impact will get their man.

Bojan, 28, left Stoke City on mutual consent early Tuesday morning, making him a free agent. A player long-rumored with a move to MLS may finally land.

The former Barcelona, Roma, Milan and Stoke player was once considered one of Europe's top prospects. His career hasn't exactly gone as planned and the creative attacker will look to rediscover his form.

Tuesday, Aug. 6 – 6:30 pm ET

Reports throughout the day suggest the LA Galaxy are still confident in signing Boca Juniors' midfielder Cristian Pavon. They need to move some players, though. Keep an eye on this space, it's perhaps the biggest deal likely to happen (that we know about).

Sources: Galaxy remain confident they’ll land Cristian Pavon on 18-month loan w/ option to buy, but they need to open up cap space, acquire TAM and free an int’l spot to do so. Looking to trade 1-2 players. As @MLSist and @PaulTenorio reported, Ema Boateng to DC is a possibility. — Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) August 6, 2019

Tuesday, Aug. 6 – 6:15 pm ET

The roster upheaval in Columbus continues.

Center back Gaston Sauro has departed the Crew for Toluca in Liga MX, per Jacob Myers of Dispatch.

Can now confirmed Gaston Sauro has left #Crew96 for Liga MX side Toluca, per a league source, for an undisclosed transfer fee. https://t.co/UiHM3uQJ8U — Jacob Myers (@Jacob_Myers_25) August 6, 2019

The move frees up flexibility for Tim Bezbatchenko as well as continued development for Homegrown center back Aboubacar Keita, who has started the club's last four games. He made his debut in July, not long after returning from playing regularly at the U-20 World Cup for the United States.

Tuesday, Aug. 6 – 6:00 pm ET

Well, we gotta start somewhere. Tuesday was a busy day for transfers, both official and reported, so let's recap everything through 6 pm ET.

The bombshell news that Wayne Rooney will be leaving D.C. United at the end of the season for a return to England kicked off the day, but there was much more on the docket. A lot of it ran through D.C. United, though.

A quick recap:

For more on those moves, we covered it at length right here.

D.C. also made a few trades including GAM, TAM and international slots but no players. Refer to the trade tracker for more details.
