I write this story every season but it’s worth reminding everyone that just because the secondary transfer window is closed doesn’t mean that the signings have to stop. On August 8, 2018, Sporting Kansas City had finished making their signings for the window and it has to be considered more successful than usual. The window brought the return of striker Krisztian Nemeth and the arrival of center back Andreu Fontas.
Now that the window is closed, Sporting KC (and all the other Major League Soccer teams) cannot make any trades within the league or “request the transfer certificate of a player under contract in another country.
