CF Montreal acquired defender Dagur Dan Thorhallsson from Orlando City on Wednesday, both clubs announced.
In exchange for the 25-year-old Icelandic international, Orlando receives $500,000 in general allocation money.
Orlando also retains a sell-on fee and could receive up to an additional $125,000 in conditional GAM.
Thorhallsson signed a new deal with Montreal through the 2027-28 season with an option for 2028-29.
“Dagur’s a player who we’ve monitored dating to his MLS arrival,” Montreal senior director of recruitment Luca Saputo said. “We expect that he will seamlessly fit the style of play that head coach Marco Donadel wants to implement. His ability to support the attack on the flanks, along with his versatility, will provide different options for our team going forward.”
Thorhallsson appeared in 92 MLS matches (52 starts) with Orlando from 2023-25, contributing seven goals and four assists. He set a career high with three goals in 31 appearances (11 starts) in 2025.
“His dedication to the team, ability to embrace our culture, and knack for bringing every group together made him a joy to have in our locker room,” Orlando general manager Ricardo Moreira said. “We’re grateful for everything he’s given to the club and wish him nothing but the best in this next chapter of his career.”
