The Crew officially announced the acquisition of Daniel Gazdag from the Philadelphia Union , who traded the attacking midfielder for $4 million. An additional $500,000 will be sent to Philadelphia if performance-based incentives are met.
Gazdag will fill the Crew's final designated player spot, which opened with the departure of Cucho Hernandez in February, with his contract being having one season remaining in addition to a club option for 2026.

In 2019, Gazdag received his first call-up to the Hungarian national team and has made 29 appearances in international play since then.
It has not been announced whether Gazdag will be available for the Crew's game at St. Louis on Sunday.
