Goalkeeper target Adam Kwarasey is visiting Minnesota this week and plans to meet with United’s sporting director Manny Lagos, a source said.

Kwarasey was transferred from Major League Soccer’s Portland Timbers to Norwegian club Rosenborg in July. The 6-foot-3 keeper played in 40 games with the Timbers, including 33 during the run to the MLS title in 2015. Thirteen of those were shutouts.

Last season, Kwarasey, 29, played in seven games but was sidelined by a finger injury and returned as the backup to Jack Gleeson.

Kwarasey, a Norwegian with heritage in Ghana, attended the Minnesota Wild’s 2-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday. He wants to get a feel for Minnesota as he explores his future, the source said.

Kwarasey started with Vålerenga in Norway and played 154 games for Strømsgodset from 2007-2014 before moving to MLS.

United selected former Real Salt Lake keeper Jeff Attinella in the MLS expansion draft on Dec. 13. On Tuesday, the Loons traded him for a second-round pick in the MLS SuperDraft in 2018 and the rights to speedy former Minnesota midfielder Miguel Ibarra.

MAKING THE JUMP

Four other players from United’s last North American Soccer League season appear candidates to make the jump to MLS next season: defender Brent Kallman of Woodbury, Brazilian midfielder Ibson and Venezuelan midfielder Bernardo Anor. Midfielder Ish Jome of Brooklyn Park is on the club’s radar.

After three years as a reserve in Minnesota, Kallman, 26, emerged as a steady center back for United last season, playing 2,574 minutes across 30 games on the Loons’ back line. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound defender played at Woodbury High School before his collegiate career at Creighton University in Omaha.

Ibson, who previously has played in the EUFA Champions League, had a goal and four assists across 23 games last season. Anor, a loanee from MLS side Sporting Kansas City, played in nine games before being shelved by ankle surgery.

Jome, 22, scored one goal in nine games for Minnesota last season. He was the 2012 Minnesota Mr. Soccer for his performance at Prairie Seeds Academy before playing three seasons at California-Santa Barbara.

United has signed MLS contracts with Justin Davis and Kevin Venegas, two full backs with lengthy resumes in Minnesota. United coach Adrian Heath said last week the team is close to signing striker Christian Ramirez, who scored a combined 51 goals for the Loons the past three seasons.
