The Philadelphia Union are on the verge of signing Nacional forward Bruno Damiani for a club-record fee of $3.4 million, just a week before the start of their 2025 MLS season. Todd is joined by José Nuñez to discuss the club-record signing, as well as the Union officially announcing the Homegrown signings of Eddy Davis, Neil Pierre, and Frankie Westfield.

They also break down the Union's current roster situation: the team cannot sign any more players unless there are departures, and they still need to acquire an international roster slot. Additionally, they discuss the Union's 4-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati in their third preseason match.
