Anna, Texas — 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.

San Jose signed goalkeeper Angus Gunn before completing Daniel’s move to Dallas. The transaction is a roster development, not a game recap.

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.

FC Dallas chief soccer officer André Zanotta said Daniel’s MLS experience will add competition in the goalkeeper group. Michael Collodi had started 13 matches this season and recorded three shutouts.

Toyota Stadium in Frisco is about 28 miles southwest of Anna, where FC Dallas remains part of the broader 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.
