Ceballos Traded by Revolution to CF Montréal
The New England Revolution traded defender Brayan Ceballos to CF Montréal for up to $850,000 in General Allocation Money, including $500,000 in 2026 GAM, $250,000 in 2027 GAM, and up to $100,000 in conditional GAM, while the Revolution retain a percentage of his sell-on rights. Ceballos, 25, joined NE from Fortaleza in 2024 and was viewed as a key defender, contributing across 38 MLS appearances with three goals in his tenure. Revolution officials said the move will generate significant allocation money to invest in the roster and continued squad improvement. CF Montréal welcomed Ceballos, praising his versatility and fit within their defensive plans. The transactions reflect Montreal’s added depth and NE’s ongoing roster strategy as they navigate the midseason transfer window. Some reports connect the deal to NE’s potential pursuit of additional signings, including a possible move for a winger, as they recalibrate their lineup after the trade.
