Yesterday afternoon, MLSSoccer.com reported that the Colorado Rapids have signed French winger Nicolas Benezet from EA Guingamp and that the deal includes a $500,000 transfer fee to Guingamp.
First reported by French website/newspaper L’Equipe, the Toronto Sun also picked up the news and added that Benezet told L’Equipe: “The truth is that the GM (Curtis) did not want me to play so as not to pay the transfer to Guingamp (around 500,000 Euros)... I feel like I was fooled.”
The 28-year-old had eight appearances (five starts) last season with Toronto FC.
