The 2019 summer transfer window doesn’t officially open until July 9 but Columbus Crew SC is already making moves, looking to reshape the roster.
On Monday, the Crew completed a trade with Atlanta United for forward Romario Williams, sending $100,000 in General Allocation Money the other way. The club followed that move up on Tuesday by signing Costa Rican winger Luis Diaz from C.S. Herediano, reportedly in a $1 million deal.
When asked about these two additions, head coach Caleb Porter wanted to make one thing clear: these acquisitions were not made due to the Black & Gold’s recent struggles in form.
