Had this idea for a project on "the balance of GAM," or the (guaranteed) amount each club has acquired/traded. Went through hundreds of press releases dating back to Jan 1, 2022 in search of transactions involving GAM, but let me know what I missed.

After a two-year battle with cancer, Ilona Löwen passed away this morning, March 9, 2026.
We grieve alongside Edu and all those impacted by this loss and ask the CITY community to keep them in your prayers during this difficult time. Ilona was a beautiful example of love, humility, and kindness and will be deeply missed.
A message from the Löwen’s Pastor, Marc Sikma:
Edu and Ilona built their life on faith in Christ, and we find comfort in knowing Ilona’s suffering is over and that she is now in the eternal presence of her Savior.

Proud to make my writing debut with @Backheeled. Huge thanks to @joeclowery for the opportunity and @MarcMachado8 for helping make it happen.
As MLS continues to increase investment into players from abroad, not every signing translates from one league to the next 🚫
So: where MLS teams are shopping for players? And which leagues are paying off?

New York Red Bulls midfielder Lewis Morgan recently appeared on the Fozcast—The Ben Foster Podcast—and there is something deeply satisfying about listening to him explain GAM and TAM. This is peak MLS.
The entire episode is well worth watching for MLS fans. It covers a range of topics, including Inter Miami’s inaugural season in MLS (the COVID-affected year), Miami’s violation of MLS roster rules, MLS academies, Cavan Sullivan and Julian Hall, the MLS SuperDraft, and Morgan’s call-up to the Scotland national team for the Euros.
