The Portland Timbers are in advanced discussions to acquire forward Germán Berterame from CF Monterrey, with the proposed transfer fee around $15 million, according to sources cited by @CLMerlo. If completed, this deal would tie for the third-highest transfer fee in Major League Soccer (MLS) history. Berterame, who also holds Mexican citizenship, is reportedly keen on representing Mexico, potentially under coach Jaime Lozano. In another significant MLS move, FC Cincinnati has finalized an agreement to obtain USMNT right back DeAndre Yedlin from Inter Miami, as first reported by @PBrennanENQ. The deal involves a trade of $172,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) to Miami, which will also free up $683,000 in salary budget space for the club. Yedlin's trade is seen as a strategic move by Inter Miami to open up salary space for future acquisitions, with efforts from Cincy execs Kyle McCarthy and Hunter Freeman.
