Minnesota United has been active before Major League Soccer’s summer transfer window closes Wednesday.

“We have one or two little things going on,” United coach Adrian Heath said after training Tuesday. “We are hopeful that we’ll at least bring in … one before the deadline (Wednesday) evening, and to that end, there might be one or two going out, as well.”

A source told the Pioneer Press on Tuesday night that the club is “close to being done” on a deal to bring Ethan Finlay to Minnesota from the Columbus Crew. In exchange, the Loons will give Columbus about $300,000 in two MLS budget funds, General Allocation Money and Target Allocation Money, over the next two years.

Finlay, a midfielder who was born in Duluth, Minn., and grew up in Marshfield, Wis., is in his sixth MLS season. He received his first call-up to the U.S. national team in January 2016 and played against Iceland and Canada.

A source also said the Loons are pursuing a young attacking winger from Central America. They’re also interested in loaning out midfielders Rasmus Schuller and Bashkim Kadrii, who both have played sparingly this season in Minnesota.

United also continues its efforts to transfer underwhelming defender Vadim Demidov, the club’s highest-paid player who has been benched since late March.

Schuller has played seven games, including four starts, since signing with Minnesota in January. The Finnish midfielder has been dealing with injuries this season, and a possible loan would be viewed as an opportunity to receive more playing time before a hopeful return to Minnesota, the source said.

Kadrii, a Danish international, is on a one-year loan from FC Copenhagen. He has played in 11 games, including five starts, with the Loons this season.

MLS clubs are allowed to unload players after the league’s transfer window closes, if the club on the receiving end is outside the league and has an open window.

Minnesota signed backup goalkeeper Alex Kapp off waivers on Tuesday. The Somers, N.Y., native was selected by fellow expansion franchise Atlanta United with the 68th pick in the MLS SuperDraft in January. The Loons did not have to provide Atlanta anything in return for Kapp, who has been training with the Loons for a few weeks.

As of Monday evening, Minnesota had two of the 18 players signed in MLS during the summer transfer window. Winger Sam Nicholson joined from a club in his native Scotland, while New Zealand defender Michael Boxall came from a club in South Africa.
