Charlotte FC is in advanced talks with Fulham and United States defender Tim Ream, sources have told ESPN. Talks are ongoing to bring the 36-year-old to the U.S.
Ream's contract with Fulham expires in 2025, necessitating Charlotte to pay an undisclosed transfer fee. Ream has 312 appearances for Fulham since 2015.
Ream's time in Europe helped him solidify his position in the USMNT, earning 56 caps and starting in the 2022 World Cup. Ream has been called up for the 2024 Copa América preparations.
Charlotte aims for Ream to be a key figure in their backline, responding to coach Dean Smith's need for a left-footed center-back. Charlotte is currently in the fifth position in the Eastern Conference.
