Julian Gressel Heads To DC United.

United acquired Julian Gressel from Atlanta United for $750,000 — which could rise to $1.1 million — in Targeted Allocation Money.

United’s blockbuster deal to acquire Julian Gressel from Atlanta: Darlington Nagbe’s trade from the Portland Timbers to Atlanta in 2018 for $1.05 million plus another $600,000 in incentives is the highest potential deal, while David Accam’s $1.2 million trade from Chicago Fire FC to the Philadelphia Union is the most guaranteed.

Should Gressel slot in regularly at right back and all incentives be met, the deal could make him the most expensive defender in league history, above the $1 million Minnesota United paid to acquire Ike Opara from Sporting Kansas City.

He can play right back, right wing, wingback, No.

If he’s playing right back, that’s a lot of money to pay for a right back.
