A report surfaced on Monday evening that Columbus Crew SC has made a contract offer to 26 year old midfielder Rafael Longuine. The Brazilian is currently with Santos, but his contract expires on May 1st. Santos has reportedly offered a new deal to re-sign him, but both sides still negotiating with salary as the sticking point.
Longuine has bounced around in his young career. He started out at the lower tier Brazilian club Comercial in 2010 with a brief loan to Inter Bebedouro in 2011. He then transferred to Austrian club LASK Linz in 2012, staying for a season, before bouncing back to Comercial.
