Revolution trade CB Brayan Ceballos to CF Montréal

The Revolution announced a major roster decision on Friday, as the club traded center back Bryan Ceballos to FC Montreal for a fee that could reach $850,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM).

New England will receive $500,000 in 2026 GAM, $250,000 in 2027 GAM, and an additional $100,000 in conditional GAM. The Revolution also retains “a percentage of Ceballos’ sales rights,” according to the document The club announces the deal.

Ceballos, 25, joined the Revolution from Brazilian club Fortaleza in late 2024. The Cali, Colombia native played in 29 games in 2025, and has made nine appearances so far in 2026. His final appearance before the deal came as a substitute in Wednesday’s 0-0 draw against Toronto, when he came on for four minutes before the final whistle.

“We are grateful to Brian for all of his contributions during his time in New England. We wish him all the best in Montreal,” Chris Tierney, Revolution general manager and chief football officer, said in a club statement. “As we look to continue improving the first team, generating this significant amount of allocation funds will allow us to continue to invest in the roster for the future.”

It’s an interesting pick from New England’s front office, as Ceballos was viewed as one of the club’s best defenders. His status as a starter still appears to be solid, although 21-year-old Ethan Koehler’s recent emergence as a viable partner for fellow centre-back Mamadou Fofana may have given the team the confidence to sign Ceballos.

The Revolution, who currently sit in fourth place in the MLS East Division, appear intent on making some mid-season roster changes before the end of the season.
