Inter Miami finalizing trade of Yedlin to Cincy
FC Cincinnati is finalizing a deal to acquire U.S. national team right back DeAndre Yedlin from Inter Miami.
Pat Brennan first reported the deal. Sources add that Miami will receive $172,000 in General Allocation Money for Yedlin.
Yedlin, 30, has 81 caps with the USMNT. He’s been with Miami since 2022, returning from a successful stint in Europe during which time he featured for Galatasaray, Newcastle United and Sunderland (the latter while on loan from Tottenham).
Yedline got his start with the Seattle Sounders in MLS before transferring to Tottenham in 2014. He has made 82 appearances with Miami since returning stateside.

FC Cincinnati needed to finesse the salary cap to fit Yedlin in. Cincy has all three designated player spots filled, plus several non-DPs with big cap hits like Matt Miazga, Miles Robinson and more. To add Yedlin — whose guaranteed compensation was $873,750 in 2023, according to the MLS Players’ Association’s most recent data — required delicate structuring, hence the specific GAM compensation to Miami.
Cincy’s cap structure is led by director of soccer strategy Kyle McCarthy and technical director Hunter Freeman, who helped get the deal formatted and sorted.
Yedlin will fill a big need at right wingback for Cincy after Santiago Arias left this winter. Yedlin should be available for selection in Cincy’s CONCACAF Champions Cup match against Monterrey this week – he is not yet cup-tied for the competition because Miami’s debut comes on Wednesday.
Cincinnati won the Supporters’ Shield last season and is viewed as one of the best teams in the league again in 2024. They added USMNT defender Miles Robinson, Corey Baird, Pavel Bucha and now Yedlin to offset the departures of Brandon Vazquez, Yerson Mosquera, Arias and Alvaro Barreal, who was officially loaned to Brazilian side Cruzeiro on Friday.

The move opens up significant salary cap room for Miami, with Yedlin’s cap hit gone as well as some allocation money coming in, adding flexibility to make more moves. The move opens a max salary cap slot at least, but the exact number is difficult to discern with the lack of salary cap and allocation money transparency.
Miami likely needs to add a new right back now with Yedlin gone. Highly-rated Argentine youth international midfielder Federico Redondo is expected to be available to debut this week, which could free up midfielder/defender Julian Gressel to shift to right back. However, head coach Tata Martino sees Gressel more as a central midfielder, where he has played effectively over Miami’s last two games.
Miami previously expressed interest in acquiring Franco Escobar from Houston, but the Dynamo has had no interest in trading him. Escobar is also now cup-tied to Houston for the Champions Cup after appearing in their last round. Escobar previously played under Martino at Atlanta United, winning MLS Cup in 2018.

The Cleveland Browns traded for an extended right tackle, former Houston Texan Tytus Howard, at the start of free agency as they began their rebuild of the offensive line that was awful in 2025. But Howard has played every position on the offensive line except for center, so if it’s all about getting your best five on the field, which it should be, there’s a chance Howard doesn’t play at right tackle in 2026.
While doing a mock draft on Peter Schrager’s podcast, former Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon had the Browns drafting Miami (FL) right tackle sixth overall. He talked about the issue with Howard, but said Mauigoa could either take over the tackle spot or be a really good guard.
Carthon said he knows that Mauigoa would be one of their best five, whether it is at guard or tackle. Some will say that a guy who may be best at guard isn’t worth the sixth overall pick, and I have to disagree. You should draft the best football players, and Francis Mauigoa is my highest-rated offensive lineman and seventh overall. It might be at guard, but I have a good feeling that Mauigoa will find a home in the NFL as a high-quality offensive lineman.
Inventory of homes and condos across the coastal Miami mainland and Miami Beach and the barrier island markets fell in the first quarter, marking the first big inventory drops since 2023.
The Corcoran Group’s first quarter reports don’t cover all of Miami-Dade County, but they offer insight into how the coastal markets, which have a higher share of luxury properties, are performing.
In Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne, single-family home inventory dropped 15 percent annually to 398 listings, and condo inventory was down 13 percent to 3,919 listings.
On Miami’s coastal mainland markets, which include Aventura, Miami Shores, Upper East Side, Edgewater, downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, inventory slipped 4 percent to 4,584 condo listings and 555 single-family listings, down 6 percent year-over-year.
Here’s a closer look at the market:
Miami Beach and the barrier islands
Single-family sales rose 13 percent year-over-year to 85 closings, the first time they have increased since the second quarter of 2024. Condo closings rose 15 percent to 693 closings, the first increase since the last quarter of 2024.
Pricing dropped, with the median price of single-family homes down 4 percent to $3.5 million and the median condo price down 9 percent to $640,000. The average price per square foot was nearly flat at $1,119.
Still, buyers set records with their purchases. Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg paid $170 million for the waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, and Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz paid $44 million, or $7,949 per square foot, for a penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences at The Surf Club.
Coastal mainland
Sales of single-family homes on the coastal mainland rose 16 percent to 220 closings. While markets like Coral Gables experienced declines in condo and single-family home sales, Coconut Grove home sales surged — up over 100 percent for single-family homes to 47 closings and up 55 percent to 87 condo closings. Condo sales rose 13 percent to 759 closings.
The median price of single-family homes across the coastal mainland rose 11 percent to just over $2 million. The median price of condos increased slightly, up 1 percent, to $602,000.
The priciest deals in the first quarter were the $32 million trade of 12 Tahiti Beach Island Road in Coral Gables, and the $19.8 million sale of a penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle.
