Rapids acquire F Georgi Minoungou from Sounders

The Colorado Rapids acquired forward Georgi Minoungou from the Seattle Sounders on Friday in exchange for $2 million in general allocation money.

Seattle retains a sell-on percentage and will receive the funds split evenly across the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

Minoungou, 23, logged three goals and seven assists in 34 appearances across all competitions with the Sounders from 2024-26.

"We are excited to welcome Georgi to the club," Rapids sporting director Fran Taylor said. "He's an explosive winger who brings the ability to consistently win 1v1 situations. There are few players like him in MLS, and we believe he's a strong fit for how we want to play."

A native of the Ivory Coast, Minoungou competes internationally for Burkina Faso and has scored three goals in nine appearances.
