Sherman, Texas — San Jose receives up to $1 million in General Allocation Money. The package includes $700,000 that is guaranteed and $300,000 that is conditional, according to MLS and Field Level Media.

MLS reported that Daniel has 15 clean sheets in 86 all-competitions appearances since becoming San Jose’s first-choice keeper in 2023. The 32-year-old holds a U.S. green card, so Dallas does not use an international roster position on him.

The deal followed San Jose’s acquisition of goalkeeper Angus Gunn. It is a roster transaction rather than coverage of a match result.

André Zanotta, FC Dallas’ chief soccer officer, said Daniel understands the league and will compete within the goalkeeper group. Homegrown keeper Michael Collodi had three shutouts in 13 starts this season.

FC Dallas plays in Frisco, roughly 55 miles south of Sherman, part of the wider North Texas sports market.

FC Dallas has acquired goalkeeper Daniel from the San Jose Earthquakes, giving the club an additional experienced option for the second half of the MLS season.
