The Dynamo acquired defender Zarek Valentin from Nashville SC on Tuesday for goalkeeper Joe Willis. Nashville could receive an additional $75,000 in 2021 targeted allocation money based on performance incentives in 2020.
Before trading Valentin to the Dynamo, Nashville acquired the 28-year-old from Portland with their second pick in the 2019 MLS expansion draft.
“We’re very pleased to add Zarek to our roster as we prepare for the 2020 season. He’s a player who has consistently performed well every time he’s competed against us,” Dynamo senior vice president and general manager Matt Jordan said in a release.
