"Red Bull New York is finalizing a trade that will send holding midfielder Daniel Edelman to St. Louis City SC for $700,000 in general allocation money (GAM), sources tell amNewYork. Breaking: Red Bull New York is finalizing a trade to send Daniel Edelman to St. Louis City, sources tell me. It's another notable academy product being shipped out under Julian de Guzman. Writing had been in the on the wall for most of this offseason."
"The 22-year-old American had been on the trading block for the majority of this offseason. Under new head of sport Julian de Guzman and head coach Michael Bradley, a more offensive-minded, aggressive 4-3-3 formation takes the onus off the glut of defensive midfielders that New York has. Veteran Swedish midfielder Gustav Berggren, who was brought in at the end of the summer transfer window last year, appears to be Bradley's No. 1 option at the position for 2026."
"Edelman is just the latest of Red Bull's long-time academy products who have been jettisoned out of town. New York traded midfielder Peter Stroud to Minnesota United and former captain Sean Nealis to DC United. A pivotal member of the United States Youth National Team, Edelman captained the U-20 side to its third-ever CONCACAF U-20 championship in 2022. While he broke into New York's side the following year as an integral cog of its midfield including contributions that helped the franchise reach the 2024 MLS Cup Final American call-ups dried up and have yet to come at the senior level."
Red Bull New York is finalizing a trade sending holding midfielder Daniel Edelman to St. Louis City SC for $700,000 in general allocation money. The 22-year-old spent most of the offseason on the trading block as new head of sport Julian de Guzman and head coach Michael Bradley shift to a more offensive-minded, aggressive 4-3-3 that reduces demand for multiple defensive midfielders. Gustav Berggren appears to be Bradley's primary option at the holding role for 2026. Edelman joins other academy graduates who were traded after making 118 appearances, scoring three goals, and captaining the U-20 CONCACAF championship team.
