San Diego FC (SDFC) announced today the Club has acquired midfielder David Vazquez on loan through 2025 with a permanent trade option from the Philadelphia Union in exchange for $50,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) in 2025 and 2026.
“David is a high potential player who fits the way we want to play,” said SDFC Sporting Director Tyler Heaps. “He’s creative in the final third, comfortable between the lines, and shown the ability to create with a final pass or shot. We’re excited to bring him closer to home and provide him with an environment where he can continue to grow.”
Vazquez, 19, joins SDFC after spending the past three years playing for the Philadelphia Union. He joined the Union academy in 2022 and made his professional debut for Philadelphia Union II in MLS NEXT Pro on July 7, 2022, against Rochester New York FC.
