The Houston Dynamo are acquiring American striker Duncan McGuire from Orlando City, The Athletic reported Thursday.
In exchange for the 25-year-old McGuire, Orlando will receive $1.25 million in general allocation money and $1.15 million in targeted allocation money in performance-based incentives. The Lions also will retain a sell-on clause.
Orlando City held McGuire out of Wednesday night’s friendly against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
McGuire has recorded two goals and one assist in 11 matches (four starts) this season, his fourth with Orlando.
He broke onto the MLS scene with 14 goals in 2023 and added 10 more in 2024 before missing time in 2025 due to surgeries on both shoulders. McGuire has recorded 29 goals and eight assists in 85 career matches (45 starts).
Orlando still will have plenty of firepower after signing French star Antoine Griezmann this spring along with fellow designated players Martin Ojeda and Marco Pasalic, Brazilian attacker Tiago and homegrown forward Justin Ellis.
