D.C. United is deep in negotiations to reacquire midfielder Yamil Asad, a midfielder who started most of the 2018 season before being recalled by his Argentine club, and hopes to finalize an agreement before the MLS roster freeze Friday.
According to people familiar with the talks, the organization has grown increasingly confident in striking a deal for the free-agent attacker, 25, who posted nine goals and eight assists in 30 regular season matches (27 starts) last year. He scored the first goal in Audi Field history.
