San Diego FC acquired veteran midfielder Emmanuel Boateng from the New England Revolution on Monday.

In exchange, the 2025 expansion club sent $200,000 in general allocation money to the Revs.

Boateng, 30, has recorded 17 goals and 26 assists in 210 MLS matches with the LA Galaxy (2016-19), D.C. United (2019-20), Columbus Crew (2020) and Revolution (2021-24).

He had two goals and two assists in 23 matches (eight starts) last season.

"We are glad to facilitate this move for Ema, allowing him the opportunity to return and work more closely with the Right to Dream Academy that helped launch his career," Revs sporting director Curt Onalfo said. "We are grateful to Ema for his years of service in New England, where he was a true professional and valued teammate. We wish him all the best in this next chapter in San Diego."

A native of Ghana, Boateng won the MLS Cup with Columbus in 2020 and the Supporters' Shield with New England in 2021.
