Four from Philadelphia Union on 2025 free agency list

Alejandro Bedoya, Jack Elliott, Olivier Mbaizo and Matt Real are all included in the MLS Players Association 2025 Free Agency List published on Tuesday.

The list includes both free-agency eligible players who are out of contract and free-agency eligible players who are out of contract but have an option year remaining on their contract.

Bedoya is out of contract after signing a one-year deal for 2024 that included a hybrid role in the front office while Elliott, Mbaizo and Real have an option year remaining.

Elliott is the highest paid out of the group and the only player whose departure would require an immediate replacement. Real is out on loan this season with Colorado Springs while Mbaizo has long been talked about as a transfer target overseas but as his international career has stalled (his last appearance was a 4-minute cameo a full year ago) that seems less likely. Bedoya, meanwhile, has said that he thinks he has another year in him.

Some former Union players also appear on the list like Fabian Herbers (out of contract), Sergio Santos (pending option), Cory Burke (pending option), Carlos Coronel (pending option), Joshua Yaro (out of contract), Greg Ranjitsingh (pending option), Fafa Picault (pending option) and players with local ties like Zarek Valentin (out of contract), Russell Canouse (out of contract) and Tyler Miller (pending option).
