Well, the max salary increases to $506K next season, so he'd have to be making at least that much for TAM to be used. The other possibility is that we bought out the half interest his old club had retained and used TAM for that.

Maxi, I haven't been able to find anywhere if there was a fee paid or not. Transfermarkt lists it as a "?". I wasn't saying we had paid a transfer fee (apologies if it sounded like that is what I was saying), just that we may have (and I don't mean to imply that we did, just that it isn't clear).
Lol. I'm getting frustrated. Leave it to our front office to use TAM to stay the same.
That's a huge raise. For someone who was adequately replaced by a former USL player during his injury. This only makes sense if we get a transfer fee for Matarrita next winter that recovers allocation money in the amount of his raise plus TAM spent.

Buying the other 50% makes a lot of sense, his value is probably lower than at the end of last season because of the injuries. If he has a good WC, I would be shocked if he is still here by the ended of the season.
Would we have to buy it at this point? Wouldn't they only own half for the duration of his previous contract? It seems like there should be some time limit on that. I also thought that there was and it was the reason his previous club was applying pressure to sell him last winter so they didn't loose their share.

Young player only 20 plays for Paraguays under 20 team always a good sign.

Interesting. I wonder if this could be a loan or a straight buy. I know transfermarkt isn't 100% accurate, but a 250k value would probably put him under the DP threshold.

And probably under TAM too, since I can't imagine he'd be on a Chanot/Ring type of salary.
Based on the fact that Copenhagen are the other team in for him, I'd be willing to bet that his true price is anywhere from the 250 to 2x that number, with a tip-top, highly unlikely max upper boundary of 4x.
Probably depends on how badly both we and Copenhagen want him.
Well, the good news is that we have tons of TAM burning a hole in our pockets, so we can bid pretty effectively against them if we want to.
He's an interesting target. Shown as a midfielder, but playing either side. We could use a 4th top notch midfielder for depth, but this doesn't seem to be that guy since our mids are central. Maybe he is a replacement for Jack when he leaves? (hopefully after next season, not this season)
The mindset of only needing to be one-deep per position is well past it's expiration date, especially with the latest massive TAM airdrop.
We should be 2-3 deep at each position, and every starter should have competition behind them that could plausibly take their spot on the depth chart, unless they're an MVP candidate.
Harrison was one of the best RW in the league last year, and one of the youngest. He also didn't have a strong backup, and as a result was played into the ground (see his dropoff in production over the second half).
This year, there will be multiple new wingers in the league in his talent tier. There will be multiple new defenders in the league that will make life more challenging.
Depth, competition, and relentless effort to improve everywhere is the new reality of MLS.
Looks like he would fill the mandatory South American attacking mid/wing hybrid slot on our roster. Aka that talented offensive player that doesn't play enough D for PVs liking and ends up playing less than they should in favor of TMac:
Mendoza->Camargo->Medina?
I love this line of thought and think there is a good deal of truth to it.
On behalf of Jonathan Lewis, Jason Richards (aka Cuz) and I would like a word with you.
You were drunk during that dream, as well.

Let me dream. I'm sure CFG and Vieira would like a talented young, marketable French player playing for the club in the biggest city in the world.
