@dundeeunitedfc set to tap its @philaunion pipeline again with Philippe Ndinga set to join on loan with Kai Wagner returning to be the team’s starting left back. The Tangerines also signed Richard Odada in 2024 after his brief Union career.
@philaunion, Columbus and River Plate (managed by former Union midfielder, Eduardo Coudet) are all linked to 30 y/o former Colombia NT striker, Rafael Santos Borre, of Internacional (Brazil). gauchazh.clicrbs.com.br/espo…
Former @PhilaUnion midfielder, Jamiro Monteiro, named to Cape Verde‘s first-ever World Cup roster.
Per Mexican report (@elnorte), @philaunion interested in Monterrey Sporting Chairman Jose Antonio “Tato” Noriega … Ernst Tanner’s return in question? Tiene Philadelphia Union al "Tato" en el radar - Vía @elnorte elnorte.com/tiene-philadelph…
@PhilaUnionII have yet to announce new foreign signings - 19 y/o French midfielder Paco Dadi (first reported by @JoserNunez91 ) and 19 y/o Mali DM/CB Mamoutou Brethe (U17 international - last club was US Bougouba in Mali 1st Division).

While his game tape inventory is somewhat limited, here is new Philadelphia Union LB Philippe Ndinga with good closing speed for a goal saving tackle in 2023 as part of France's Pau FC U19 team. tiktok.com/@philippendinga2/…
Philippe Ndinga transfer fee paid by Philadelphia Union to Degerfors IF is reported to be $2.2M. fotbolltransfers.com/nyheter…

In @EmiratesFACup 4th round action, it is @PhilaUnion alumni Kai Wagner and @BCFC in extra time against Brendan Aaronson and @LUFC after the teams were level 1-1 after regular time. Game is on @espn+.
In PK shootout, Wagner repeatedly gestures to his GK Allsop that Aaronson will go to Allsop’s right. Allsop dives to his left while Aaronson hits what would have been savable PK to Allsop’s right, if Allsop had only followed Wagner’s @philaunion scout advice. Leeds win 4-2 on PKs
Philadelphia Union would love to replicate the economics of Swedish league player development. Alladoh played a full 2025 calendar year and Ndinga played just later half of it. Their Union respective transfer fees (Alladoh $4.5M, Ndinga $2.2M) were 10X their transfermrkt values.
Not a lot of game tape for incoming Philadelphia Union LB, Philippe Ndinga, in his short stint at Degerfors; however, here he is setting up a goal with a run from the left flank into the box. tiktok.com/t/ZTh9M3Hvd/
Philadelphia Union soon to be announced 20 y/o LB, Philippe Ndinga of Degerfors IF (Sweden) has scored one goal in his brief pro career; however, it was a decent strike. instagram.com/reel/DO6av16DV…
Per Expressen (Swedish report), Degerfors’ 20 y/o LB Philippe Ndinga is close to being sold to Philadelphia Union and will soon move to USA. Several sources state that the transfer could be up to 20 million Swedish kronor ($2.2M USD), including bonuses. expressen.se/sport/fotboll/a…
@PhilaUnion scouts working overtime in Uruguay and Sweden as of late. In Sweden, they signed Alladoh, targeted but lost out on Sosseh and now targeting Ndinga. In Uruguay, they signed Anello and Martinez after getting Damiani last season.
Soon to be announced Philadelphia Union striker highlights: Agustin Anello | Boston River - Goals, Key Passes and Dribbling youtu.be/2mc4KPriXAU?si=8U5P… via @YouTube
@PhilaUnion signing @bostonriver striker Agustin Anello for $2.5M per @CLMerlo. Anello was near a transfer last August to join Jose Martinez at @Corinthians but their FIFA transfer ban prevented it. Anello had other interest from Brazil clubs (Remo, Coritiba) this winter.
@philaunion striker focus seems now firmly on @bostonriver Agustin Anello. @calciocesenafc striker Jalen Blesa is heading to Portugal to finalize a $2.0M transfer (Union's last bid was $1.7M) to @rioavede1a. corriereromagna.it/sport/cal…
After being held out of Cesena's gameday roster today, @philaunion striker target Jalen Blesa is cited by Italian reports as to being more likely to join Rio Ave (Portugal - 2/3 transfer deadline) as he prefers to stay in Europe. corriereromagna.it/sport/cal…

@philaunion striker transfer watch: @calciocesenafc Jalen Blesa not dressed for today’s match. Rio Ave (Portugal - transfer window ends 2/3) has entered the race for him. Have to think that Union are after Blesa or Agustin Anello, but likely not both w/ Martinez & Custovic in mix
