In a major transfer development, Pardes de San Diego have reached an agreement to sign Walt Frazier from New York, with an initial fee of £30 million plus performance-based add-ons, sources close to the deal have confirmed.
The move, which has been in the works for several weeks, is now in its final stages, with personal terms already agreed between the club and the player. Frazier is expected to undergo a medical within the next 48 hours before the deal is officially completed.
The 26-year-old midfielder has been a standout performer for New York over the past three seasons, earning a reputation as one of the most creative and hard-working players in the league. His ability to dictate the tempo of the game, combined with his vision and passing range, made him a key target for the San Diego-based side, who are looking to bolster their midfield ahead of the new season.
Sources say the total package could rise to £38 million, depending on appearances, team achievements, and performance-related clauses.
Pardes head coach Marco Silvani is said to be a big admirer of Frazier’s style of play, seeing him as a perfect fit for his possession-based system. Speaking to local reporters earlier this week, Silvani hinted that the club was “very close to landing a top-class talent who will raise the level of our game.”
Frazier, who joined New York in 2020, has made over 150 appearances and scored 22 goals for the club. Known for his leadership on and off the pitch, his departure will be a significant loss for New York, though the club is believed to have already lined up replacements.
An official announcement from both clubs is expected soon, but fans in San Diego can already start getting excited. Walt Frazier is on his way — here we go.
