The San Jose Earthquakes have agreed to a deal to acquire midfielder Eduard Lowen from St. Louis City, according to multiple \u200breports.<\/p>\n
In return, St. Louis is set to \u200creceive $425,000 in GAM funds in addition to another $500,000 GAM in add-ons, per The Athletic.<\/p>\n
Lowen, 29, will become a designated player for San Jose (11-7-3). His contract is only guaranteed \u200cthrough \u200bthe end of the season \u2060with an option for \u2060next year. He reportedly approached St. Louis about his long-term future, but was told the club would not consider options and extensions until the \u200bsummer so he requested that it look for potential long-term destinations.<\/p>\n
The German international is expected \u2060to provide a boost to \u2060an Earthquakes team that is winless \u200bin six matches since returning from the World Cup \u200bbreak, dropping to fourth in the Western Conference \u200cwith 33 points. He has made 84 regular-season appearances since joining St. Louis ahead of the club\u2019s debut MLS season in 2023, scoring 20 \u2060goals and producing 27 assists. Lowen has three goals and three assists this season.<\/p>\n
He did not make his season \u2060debut until \u200cApril after his wife, Ilona, died \u2060the previous month following a years-long \u200bbattle with \u200cbrain cancer.<\/p>\n
St. Louis (9-6-6, 33 points) still \u200bhas a \u2060DP spot available and is reportedly targeting a center forward during the transfer window that runs through Sept. 2. The club previously parted with Marcel Hartel while adding DP attacker Carlo Holse in July.<\/p>\n
