18 year-old Fernando Delgado has been transferred to Birmingham Legion for NextPro side Real Monarchs. Delgado played three games for Legion on loan this past season among all of the injuries at goalkeeper. This move is permanent, and not a loan.

Legion is one of the clubs that haven't made a sweeping roster announcement as of yet, so there's a lot of speculation on what this move could mean. Will Delgado be a third GK, will MVO be retiring to coach, etc. Hopefully, Legion will make a roster statement within the next day or two. The only other sure thing is that Darwin Matheus is under contract for 2025.
