We paid one of the top 10 transfer fees in MLS history last season and we paid a $2M transfer fee for a player this season.
I have no idea or the answer. How many teams ha e spent as much as us in transfer fees over the past 2 seasons?
If you want to believe the Transfermarkt reported fees, here are the ones higher than Kaku in the past 2 years.
- Brian Rodriguez, LAFC: 11.3M
- Pity Martinez, ATL: 14.6M
- Pozuelo, TFC: 9.9M
- Brian Fernandez, POR: 9.9M
- Mitrita, NYC: 8.8M
- Ruidiaz, Seattle: 7M
- Andre Horta, LAFC: 6.2M
- Barco, ATL: 13.6M
Teams that have out-spent us on transfers are easily LAFC, ATL, NYC (Mitrita + Haber), TFC, POR. Maybe a couple others are close with a handful of 2-3 M transfers.
Worth pointing out Kaku has dropped down to the 14th highest transfer in league history.
- Pity Martinez, ATL, 14.6M
- Barco, ATL, 13.6M
- Brian Rodriguez, LAFC, 11.3M
- Pozuelo, TFC, 9.9M

- Mitrita, NYC, 8.8M
- Almiron, ATL, 8.3M

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.
