Sporting Kansas City completed a historic intra-league trade on Saturday, acquiring striker Dejan Joveljić from the LA Galaxy.

The 25-year-old Serbian international joins Kansas City for a $4 million fee. The transaction is the first cash-for-player trade in MLS history.

This new type of deal was introduced in the 2025 MLS roster rule changes, allowing clubs to use out-of-pocket funds to trade for players without utilizing General Allocation Money (GAM) or other assets.

Additionally, Joveljić has signed a three-year Designated Player contract with Sporting KC through 2027 with an option for 2028.
