TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Extension

Minnesota United FC have signed forward Tani Oluwaseyi to a contract extension through 2027 with an option for 2028, the club announced Tuesday.

A 2022 SuperDraft selection out of St. Johns, Oluwaseyi had a breakout campaign this past season. He tallied 8g/6a in 30 appearances across all competitions.

ā€œTani has showed patience, a belief and desire to improve making himself an important part of Minnesota United and also for his country,ā€ said chief soccer officer and sporting director Khaled El-Ahmad.

ā€œWe are looking forward to continually following his progress as a player and to have that growth contribute to the future success of this team in the coming seasons.ā€

Oluwaseyi, 24, also featured nine times for the Canadian national team in 2024, making five appearances at Copa AmƩrica. He made his international debut in June during a friendly against France.

Before getting his look under head coach Eric Ramsay, Oluwaseyi shined on loan with USL Championship side San Antonio FC.

ā€œIā€™m extremely excited and happy to continue to call Minnesota home,ā€ said Oluwaseyi. ā€œTo the best fans in the world, thank you for the continued support; Iā€™m looking forward to all the work and progress to come. To God be the glory, and the marathon continues.ā€

In 2024, Minnesota finished sixth in the Western Conference and upset Real Salt Lake to reach the Conference Semifinals, before falling to the LA Galaxy.
