Former Celtic defender Osaze Urhoghide joins FC Dallas from Amiens in a record-breaking transfer deal worth €3 million. This move marks a significant investment for FC Dallas, highlighting the club's ambition to bolster their defensive line. Urhoghide, who had limited playing time at Celtic, found consistent opportunities at Amiens, showcasing his talent in Ligue 2. His new contract with FC Dallas runs for four years with an option for an additional year.
Another former Celtic player is on the move this winter, as one of their defenders in recent years, Osaze Urhoghide , is heading from Ligue 2 club Amiens to MLS side FC Dallas. In recent years, Liel Abada (Charlotte FC) and Odin Thiago Holm (Los Angeles FC on loan) have moved to the United States as well. The transfer fee for Urhoghide is going to be a record one for FC Dallas, as it is currently reported at a €3 million.
This will be the most FC Dallas has ever spent on a move for a defender, and the fourth-most they have ever spent. The only players they have spent more on previously are Petar Musa (€9.00m), Alan Velasco (€6.40m) and Luciano Acosta (€4.80m). He was on the books at Celtic from 2021 to 2023, however, after the first half-season he would go on loan to Oostende. He ultimately got very little playing time for the Scottish side. At Amiens however, he saw a genuine playing chance. He made 41 appearances in total for the club and became a regular for them. This opportunity really gave him an exceptional platform to showcase his skills in the second division of French football, ultimately earning a move to the MLS. His new contract runs for four years through 2028, and has a one-year club option for the following season. The centre-back will now have to work to prove his value in a new team, league, and to a new manager, while also working with a completely new group of teammates in a different continent altogether. With how often he has moved throughout his career, finally finding some stability at a club with that aforementioned new contract should truly do him some good when it comes to development. At only 24 years of age, he has plenty of time to learn the ropes and get even better.
