The Philadelphia Union have agreed to trade the discovery priority for Danish attacker Carlo Holse to St. Louis City SC in exchange for up to $300,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM). The deal includes a guaranteed $150,000 in 2026 and $50,000 in 2027, with an additional $100,000 available if performance-based incentives are met. Holse, 27, joins St. Louis City after scoring eight goals and providing four assists last season in the Turkish Super Lig for Samsunspor. Over nine professional seasons in Denmark, Norway, and Turkey, he has recorded 42 goals and 36 assists in 242 matches. St. Louis City, which has scored only 23 goals in 17 MLS matches this season, hopes Holse will bolster their attack. He is signed through the 2028-29 season with a club option for 2029-30 and will occupy an international roster slot. St. Louis sporting director Corey Wray expressed excitement about Holse entering his prime and making an immediate impact.
