A surprising situation in Atlanta has lead to a potential boon for Columbus Crew SC as U.S. Men’s National Team veteran and two-time MLS Cup winner Darlington Nagbe is pushing for a trade to the Crew.
SB Nation’s Dirty South Soccer is reporting that the Ohio native wants to be reunited with his former college and Major League Soccer manager, Caleb Porter, who took over the Black & Gold in January, in Columbus.
Nagbe was traded to Atlanta United from the Portland Timbers for just over $1 million in General and Targeted Allocation Money before the 2018 season after playing in nearly every match of his seven seasons with the Timbers.
