Columbus Crew midfielder Sebastian Berhalter has been traded to the Vancouver Whitecaps. This news was first reported by Harjeet of The Daily Hive and confirmed to Massive Report by sources close to the team. In return for Berhalter, the Black & Gold receive $50,000 in General Allocation Money.
Columbus signed Berhalter, the son of former Crew manager and current United States Men’s National Team head coach, to a Homegrown Player contract two years ago. Since joining the senior team on Jan. 17, 2020, Berhalter had chances on the field but didn’t make the impact the Black & Gold hoped for from the young midfielder.
