CF Montreal confirmed on July 24, 2026 that it has added forward Brayan Ceballos to its roster while sending defender Dagur Dan Thorhallsson to the New England Revolution. The transaction also includes a payment of $500,000 in general allocation money from Montreal to the Revolution as part of the agreement.
The club’s announcement detailed that Ceballos joins the team as a forward, expanding the attacking options available to the squad for the remainder of the MLS season. In return, the defender Dagur Dan Thorhallsson will become part of the Revolution’s defensive line, with the financial component of $500,000 in allocation money facilitating the move.
General allocation money, a mechanism used by MLS clubs to manage roster budgets and player acquisitions, was the primary monetary element of the deal. By allocating half a million dollars to New England, CF Montreal satisfied the league’s requirements for the transfer and ensured compliance with salary‑cap regulations.
Both clubs described the transaction as a mutually beneficial exchange that addresses immediate roster needs. Montreal gains a forward to bolster its offensive depth, while the Revolution adds a defender and receives additional allocation resources to support future signings.
The move marks another instance of intra‑league activity during the mid‑season window, reflecting the ongoing strategic adjustments made by MLS teams as they position themselves for the remainder of the campaign. No further details on contract length or salary terms for either player were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
Fans of both clubs will now look to see how the new arrivals integrate into their respective squads as the season progresses toward its critical stages.
