The Vancouver Whitecaps have engaged in a period of active roster building through ~~mid-August~~ late August 2026. Initial efforts focused on securing Serbian midfielder Aleksa Cvetkovic from OFK Beograd. The deal, estimated at $1.5 million, utilizes the MLS U22 Initiative to bring the 21-year-old box-to-box midfielder to the club. Cvetkovic, who has 73 first-team appearances for the Belgrade-based club, is intended to bolster the midfield following the departure of Sebastian Berhalter. Following this, the club moved toward signing Sebastián Ramírez, a 20-year-old defensive midfielder and former Colombia U20 international from Fortaleza FC. Ramírez, ~~who has experience as both~~ a ~~midfielder~~ dual citizen of the United States and ~~centre-back,~~ Colombia, recently underwent medical assessments at the club’s National Soccer Development Centre. These acquisitions follow other recent additions to the squad, including Kwasi Poku. By late August, the club reportedly moved toward a deal for 26-year-old Angolan international Rui Modesto from the Italian Serie A club Udinese. The transfer fee for Modesto is estimated at approximately €1.8 million. A versatile player capable of acting as a winger, wing-back, or full-back, Modesto is expected to bolster the right side of the pitch for the Whitecaps.
