San Diego FC continues to strengthen its roster ahead of its MLS debut in the 2025 season, and the rumors keep coming.
The newest MLS franchise is working hard during this “offseason,” which is anything but off for them in terms of preparations.
Just yesterday, San Diego FC signed Manu Guah along with four other impressive college talents.
The balance between youth and experience is crucial for SDFC, as club executives have explained.
In fact, Tyler Heaps, the sporting director, recently stated that San Diego FC aims to sign big-name players without losing that balance.
Now, attention is shifting to a potential signing from Liga MX.
