FC Dallas Acquires Anderson Julio from RSL

FC Dallas has acquired Ecuadorian international forward Anderson Julio from Real Salt Lake in exchange for defender Sam Junqua and up to $500,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM). Julio, who scored 28 goals in 129 appearances for RSL, is expected to integrate well into Dallas under head coach Eric Quill. Sporting Director André Zanotta emphasized Julio's potential impact, citing his performance in past matchups against Dallas. Junqua, who made 65 appearances for Dallas, will add depth to RSL's backline as they prepare for a busy season. Both teams are gearing up for their respective 2025 MLS campaigns, starting on February 22. This trade reflects a significant roster overhaul for FC Dallas as they aim for a stronger performance next season.
