DC United and CF Montreal are currently immersed in trade talks that could result in an exchange of right-backs. The proposal involves players Aaron Herrera, currently defending Montreal's colors, and Ruan, a key figure in DC United's defensive line since the beginning of the 2023 season.

The news comes as a surprise to fans and sports observers, as both players have played significant roles in their respective teams. Herrera, with 23 appearances for Montreal, has demonstrated solid defensive skills and valuable contributions in attack, while Ruan, with 29 appearances for DC United, has stood out as a reliable and versatile right-back.
