Acosta joined Dallas only in February, moving from Cincinnati, but spent only seven months at the club. In 21 matches, he scored 5 goals and made 1 assistant – a significant recourse after brilliant performances for the previous club, where in 2023 he became the best MLS player with 17 goals and 14 gears.
Dallas President Dan Hunt said the club respects the player’s desire to be closer to the house, despite the short time of cooperation. John Arias, who recently moved to Vulverhampton, will replace Fluminsest after a successful world club.
Earlier, Acosta considered the possibility of speaking for the US national team, but for this he lacked six months of continuous residence in the country. With the transition to Brazil, this prospect is almost lost.
The 31-year-old midfielder has 82 goals for three MLS clubs and is the author of one of the most famous moments of the League-Gola after the famous interception of Wayne Rune in 2018.
