Ema Boateng Traded to San Diego
Boateng joins the expansion side after spending the past four seasons with the Revs.
The New England Revolution’s flurry of offseason moves continued on Monday when the club dealt veteran midfielder Emmanuel Boateng to San Diego FC in exchange for $200,000 in 2025 General Allocation Money
“We are glad to facilitate this move for Ema, allowing him the opportunity to return and work more closely with the Right to Dream Academy that helped launch his career,” sporting director Curt Onalfo said. “We are grateful to Ema for his years of service in New England, where he was a true professional and valued teammate. We wish him all the best in this next chapter in San Diego.”
Boateng’s tenure in New England began on January 7, 2021, after signing as a free agent following spells with the LA Galaxy, D.C. United, and the Columbus Crew.
During his four seasons with New England, the 30-year-old midfielder appeared in 108 matches across all competitions and tallied eight goals and 10 assists over 4,080 minutes. Boateng time with the club also saw him hoist the Supporters’ Shield title in 2021.
Boateng joins San Diego FC as the expansion side prepares to kick off their inaugural MLS season in 2025.
Sad to see Ema go, one of my favorite players and I will never forget his cross to Tajon in the playoff game against NYCFC. Wish him the best, it is cool he will be able to reunite with the Right to Dream Academy
Umm, Mr. Porter, sir, about this "70% of the team will be back" claim you made last year - who did you think you were fooling with that big lie?
I don't understand how fans are supposed to root for a team that is nearly completely all-new from outside the organization. Nobody is going to know who the hell is doing what with completely unknown faces calling each other by their uniform numbers.
Does the coaching staff have any idea who all the new guys really are?
