Hupu, August 13, According to news including ESPN, Givemesport, etc., two players in Miami International are about to leave the team. Among them, midfielder Federico Redondo is about to join La Liga promoted Elche, while goalkeeper Karende will join another American League team, Charlotte.

It is reported that Miami International has sold half of the ownership of Federico Redondo for $2.5 million, and he will complete the signing as long as he passes Elche's medical examination. Federico Redondo, 22, joined Miami International from the Argentine Youth in February 2024. So far, he has made 57 appearances for Miami International in various competitions.

In addition to Redondo, it is reported that Charlotte FC and Miami International reached an agreement on the introduction of goalkeeper Karend. The source added that the player was surprised by his next dealer and was not consulted for any transfers throughout the process. Sources also added that other MEF clubs want him, too.

The Charlotte team has the Major League Soccer goalkeeper of the year Christian Kalina last season. He has renewed his contract until 2026, and the club also has the option to renew his contract in 2027. The club hopes to take this opportunity to further consolidate this position.

Kalend was plagued by injuries in Miami and lost his main position after joining Ustari. The club also gave Rios Novo some playing time this year and signed William Abraro.

27-year-old Karende has made only three appearances for Miami International this year. He was a candidate for the Major League Soccer goalkeeper of the year and was selected on the U.S. national team training list many times, but has not yet made his national team debut.

The goalkeeper has spent his career in Miami and has been starting for three consecutive seasons before this year. Karend is regarded as one of the better starting goalkeepers in the league.
