After a career season, Whitecaps' Fafà Picault heading for the door The Whitecaps announced their 2025 option pickups, and the team's third-leading scorer isn't one of them. But talks will continue.
DECEMBER 10 • THEPROVINCE.COM
Ryan Raposo - Out of contract Raposo is out of contract for 2025, but is negotiating with Vancouver.
Impact Raposo is a free agent ahead of 2025, but remains in negotiations to return. The midfielder was big contributor in 2024, scoring three goals and adding four assists in 32 appearances (18 starts.) If he returns in 2025, he's likely to take on a major role once more.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Fafa Picault - Future unclear Picault's future is unclear for 2025 as his option was declined, but he's still negotiating.
Impact Picault thrived in his first season in Vancouver, scoring nine times and adding six assists. Vancouver is still negotiating with him, likely in hopes of bringing him back on a longer-term deal. Picault would be a major contributor if brought back for 2025.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Alessandro Schopf - Option declined Schopf's option for 2025 was declined, but he remains in negotiations.
Impact Schopf's third season with Vancouver was his best, he played the most minutes (2,043) and made the most starts (34) of his MLS career. The midfielder could compete for minutes if brought back, but he didn't show enough for Vancouver to extend his current deal.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Ralph Priso - Future unclear Priso's option for 2025 was declined, but he remains in negotiations with Vancouver.
Impact Priso never really took on a big role with Vancouver, he totaled 15 appearances (five starts) and assisted once for the club. On the whole he did passably, but he never really took a spot in the starting XI. Priso would likely come back to Vancouver as a depth option.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
JC Ngando - Negotiating a return Ngando is negotiating a return for 2025, Vancouver announced.
Impact Ngando spent 2024 on loan with Las Vegas, but is now negotiating a return with Vancouver. It's unclear if he will be brought back, as he would be one for the future even if given a new contract.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Bendik - Still neogtiating Bendik remains in negotiations with Vancouver ahead of 2025.
Impact Bendik's option for 2025 was declined, but he's still negotiating with the club. If he does return to Vancouver it would have to be in a minor depth role, as he seemingly fell to the bottom of the depth chart in 2024.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Deiber Caicedo - Set to return Caicedo will return to Vancouver for 2025, after his contract option was picked up.
Impact Caicedo is little more than a depth option at this point, he played just six times in 2024, making a single start. He also hasn't scored for the club since 2022. Still he offers some nice depth and has shown enough in training to earn a spot on the roster for 2025.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Isaac Boehmer - Option exercised Boehmer will be back with Vancouver in 2025 after his contract option was exercised.
Impact Boehmer is set to return to Vancouver for 2025, where he will be the backup option behind Yohei Takaoka once more. Boehmer wasn't called into action much in 2024, but he showed enough to earn the second job on the depth chart.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Yohei Takaoka - Returning to Vancouver Takaoka is returning to Vancouver after his contract option for 2025 was picked up.
Impact Takaoka has been the starting goalkeeper in Vancouver for two years, and while he might not be the best in MLS he has been solid. The goalkeeper should be back for 2025, where he will be the top choice in net once more, with eyes on his first season with double-digit clean sheets.

Yohei Takaoka - Single save in loss Takaoka made one save and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 loss against Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Takaoka's second season came to an end with another disappointing loss to LAFC. It was a similar season to his first with Vancouver. He kept nine clean sheets and made 99 saves while conceding 50 times. That's essentially identical to his 2023 campaign, and establishes that Takaoka is still a solid, if uninspiring goalkeeper.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Brian White - Single chance created White generated four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 defeat against Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact White was held off the scoresheet in the final match of the playoffs, bringing yet another encouraging season to an end in disappointment. The striker finished with 16 goals for the second straight season and was a talismanic part of the attack. He will be among the top options to lead the line as long as he remains in Vancouver.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Sebastian Berhalter - Four crosses in loss Berhalter registered one shot (zero on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 1-0 defeat against Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Berhalter got the start in the final two matches of the season, but wasn't able to do much more. In the end the midfielder had a quiet season, though he passed 2,000 minutes played for the first time in his career. Berhalter seems to be earning more and more minutes as time goes on with Vancouver.
