Charlotte FC trades for Inter Miami's Drake Callender
Inter Miami received $400,000 in general allocation money for 2025, and another $350,000 for 2026. Miami could also receive $75,000 in conditional general allocation money, and will retain a sell-on percentage in the event of a future permanent trade or transfer of the goalkeeper.
Callender, 27, has barely played this season after suffering an injury while playing with the United States national team in January. He had sports hernia surgery in May before losing his starting role to 39-year-old Oscar Ustari.
Callender joined Inter Miami in 2019 ahead of the club's inaugural season and spent two seasons in the club's development pathway with Inter Miami CF II before making his first start for the first team in 2022.
'Drake joins our squad with three-plus years of MLS experience and is entering a great stage for goalkeeper development,' Charlotte general manager Zoran Krneta said in a statement. 'His MLS experience and recent national team call-ups make him a key piece to help strengthen our goalkeeping core as we continue to build the strongest squad possible for the run-in, but also an eye towards the future.'
Callender was the starting goalkeeper during Inter Miami's record-breaking run to the 2024 MLS Supporter's Shield and also helped Miami clinch the Leagues Cup title in 2023. He won the tournament's Best Goalkeeper award that year.
The player from Sacramento, California, has made a club-record 118 appearances across all competitions, including 96 in MLS play. He gave up 140 goals and had 14 shutouts for Inter Miami.

Draymond Green sparks Jimmy Butler dialogue over Heat's Haywood Highsmith trade
Draymond Green sparks Jimmy Butler dialogue over Heat's Haywood Highsmith trade originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area 'Don't put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby! I had nothing to do with it!' Jimmy Butler channeled his inner Will Ferrell when Draymond Green dragged him into a back-and-forth on social media over the weekend. The exchange took place after the Miami Heat traded forward Haywood Highsmith to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. The trade sent Highsmith and a 2032 second-round pick to the Nets in exchange for a protected 2026 second-round pick. Highsmith was looked at as a key piece to Miami's future while Butler still was with the team before the Feb. 5 trade to the Warriors, but Green appears to believe the praise, by some, was exaggerated. Highsmith averaged 24.6 minutes per game last season with the Heat, while scoring only 6.5 PPG. Butler averaged 17.5 PPG last season, which puts these two in completely different categories. The Heat reportedly made offers to the Phoenix Suns for now-Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant this offseason, but Miami team president Pat Riley was unwilling to include young assets like Highsmith. The complexities of Butler's relationship with the Heat organization ultimately were unreconcilable in the end, but he seems much more at home now with the Warriors and isn't too excited to contribute to Green's social media banter.
