Miami FC’s spending spree is set to continue with the signing of another familiar face.

Multiple sources tell SBI that Gabriel Farfan is the latest player to join a Miami FC team currently in the midst of a mid-season rebuild. The 28-year-old midfielder/left back most recently featured for the New York Cosmos, who he joined on loan from Liga MX side Chiapas FC. Farfan will join Miami FC on a free transfer after negotiating a settlement with Chiapas.

Farfan was only signed with the Cosmos through the Spring Season, and sources tell SBI that the reigning NASL champions did enter negotiations with the former Philadelphia Union and Chivas USA player. However, Miami FC proved aggressive in negotiations as they attempt to reconstruct a roster that finished last in the NASL Spring Season.

To date, Miami FC has already begun an aggressive rebuilding process unlike any in NASL history. A reportedly record-breaking transfer fee of $750,000 for midfielder Richie Ryan began the process and was soon followed by the acquisition of Philadelphia Union midfielder Michael Lahoud, who was on loan with the Cosmos at that point. Most recently, Miami FC has reportedly bolstered their roster with the addition New York City FC midfielder Kwadwo Poku for a transfer fee of over $700,000.

While with the Cosmos, Farfan made four appearances and three starts while scoring one goal and adding an assist. A former U.S. Under-17 Men’s National Team regular, the 28-year-old featured in 18 matches for Chiapas after spending three seasons in MLS.

Miami FC kicks off the fall season on Saturday with a visit to to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

What do you think of the move? How will Farfan fare with Miami FC? What do you expect from the expansion club in the Fall Season?
