United States men’s national team right back DeAndre Yedlin has a new team. FC Cincinnati confirmed on Monday that they have acquired Yedlin in a transfer from Inter Miami.
The two teams didn’t disclose details of the deal. However, The Athletic’s Tom Bogert reports that Miami received $172,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) for Yedlin.
Yedlin leaving doesn’t come as a surprise, considering he was one of the players Inter made available last month in an attempt to shed salary and acquire allocation money. The MLS side also moved on from Brazilian midfielder Gregore, while the likes of Jean Mota, Robert Taylor, and Serhiy Kryvtsov remain available.
DeAndre Yedlin joined Inter Miami ahead of the 2022 MLS season, signing a four-year contract with an option for another year. Yedlin ended up playing a total of 82 games for Miami, dishing eight assists and helping the club win the Leagues Cup in 2023.
Yedlin made his professional debut in 2013 with the Seattle Sounders. He then embarked on a successful stint in Europe that saw him suit up for Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Galatasaray, among other clubs.
Yedlin collected 81 call-ups for USMNT and is the only U.S. player to play in both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2022 FIFA World Cup.
