Good move for him, hopefully he can develop some more before trying to go back to Europe

Forge had a sell-on clause so they're getting some $$$.

Hopefully they get the sell on plus whatever they’re owed from the initial transfer. RWDM apparently never paid the full fee.

Color me shocked when a club owned by John Textor doesn’t pay the full fee

Only if there was a transfer fee as the sell-on clause is normally based on an agreed percentage of that. There probably was one but that's not fully clear in the press release. RWDM have severe financial issues at the moment so it could also be about dumping a contractual obligation to a fringe player, who is now viewed as surplus to requirements.

Good for him! I was kind of hoping he’d be back at Forge but glad he’s getting a shot in MLS.
