Wolff Heads to Sporting KC | MLS News

Sporting Kansas City just pulled off a major splash, landing 21-year-old midfielder Owen Wolff from Austin FC in a deal worth up to $7.6 million — plus Austin gets a cut if Wolff is traded later. Wolff, who’s been a standout for six seasons with 10 goals and 23 assists in 147 games, was Austin’s first-ever homegrown player and ranked fourth on the U-22 list last year. Now he’ll keep his U-22 spot and sign through 2031, as Sporting KC rebuilds under new leadership. Wolff also brings international pedigree — he helped the US U-22 squad reach the 2023 World Cup quarterfinals — and his dad, Josh Wolff, even managed Austin FC. For Austin, it’s bittersweet: losing their youngest-ever player and first homegrown star, while also moving other midfielders this summer.
