Julián Carranza scores for Philadelphia Union amid Europe transfer interest
What does 2024 hold for Julián Carranza ? The Philadelphia Union forward is one of the most coveted offensive players in the league and has been the subject of inter est during Europe’s January transfer window. “My head is still in Philly,” Carranza said recently. “ There’s a lot of talks around, but there’s nothing concrete. So I’m just going to focus on Philly, and if I have to take a decision before the [transfer] window closes, I’ll take it.” His focus certainly seemed well-placed on Tuesday evening when he opened the scoring for the Union in his first preseason appearance. Jim Curtin’s side played out a 1-1 draw against Austin FC and Carranza got them off to a flying start with a superb near-post finish in the first half.
