TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Report
One of the biggest clubs in the world has reportedly made an eight-figure offer for one of MLS’s top playmakers.
The Washington Post reported late Wednesday night that Paris Saint-Germain are making a push for D.C. United midfielder Luciano Acosta before the close of the European transfer window on Thursday evening. One source places the bid in the $10 million range.
The article states that Manchester City and another English Premier League club have also entered the picture for Acosta, who left training camp on Wednesday evening to fly to Europe, in case a physical is required prior to the transfer deadline.
Acosta had his best season in MLS in 2018, taking off upon the arrival of Wayne Rooney in the summer. He ended the year with 10 goals and 17 assists and was named to MLS’s Best XI.
The Athletic reported earlier on Wednesday that United had turned down a bid from a Saudi Arabian club and were working on re-signing the Argentine to a lucrative new contract.
The diminutive playmaker joined D.C. on loan from Boca Juniors prior to the 2016 season and his contract was purchased outright a year later. In three seasons with the Black-and-Red, he has 18 goals and 33 assists.
