With the announcement of the MLS franchise, FC Cincinnati can officially scout and recruit players to build their roster. Don’t expect to see a lot of signings between now and the end of the season unless it is a player coming from overseas.

You could see players on the European schedule sign in the summer transfer window (July 10- August 8) like Mexican star Carlos Vela did with LAFC. Atlanta United signed Hector Villalba to an early deal in July 2016 from Argentina, a season prior to their inaugural campaign. With Atlanta’s

academy in place in 2016, they were also able to snag Andrew Carleton and Chris Goslin to Homegrown Player deals.
