Overview
- Multiple outlets report an initial fee of about $22 million with incentives that could take the total near $27 million, placing the move among MLS’s largest incoming transfers.
- Sargent received permission to fly to Canada for his medical as the clubs move to complete the transfer.
- The deal could surpass LAFC’s reported outlay for Son Heung-min if all add-ons are achieved, according to ESPN.
- Outstanding formalities include MLS registration, with reports noting St. Louis City SC may hold right-of-first-refusal, and Werder Bremen is due a resale percentage.
- The move follows a January breakdown at Norwich after Sargent made himself unavailable for an FA Cup tie, and he departs with 55–56 goals in roughly 155–157 matches as he targets a return to USMNT contention and a move closer to family.
