Loons sell center back Micky Tapias to Chivas of Liga MX
Minnesota United has transferred center back Micky Tapias to Chivas Guadalajara in Mexico’s Liga MX, sources have confirmed to the Pioneer Press.
MNUFC is expected to receive a significant fee for Tapias, more than $1 million according to GiveMeSport.
Tapias, 27, earned $811,875 in guaranteed compensation in 2024 and his exit will free up budget space to spend on a new center back, a position Chief Soccer Officer Khaled El-Ahmad seeks to fill this offseason.
Tapias was a mainstay on the Loons’ back line for 2023 and for most of 2024 but had a rocky end to last season. The Mexican national played only once after late September.
— The Loons selected Kipp Keller in the first stage of the re-entry draft on Friday. The 24-year-old center back is on a low salary ($89,716 in 2024) and has been a backup in Austin and Cincinnati. He will be under contract for 2025, with a club option for 2026.
