D.C. United has acquired Dutch striker Nigel Robertha from Bulgarian club Levski Sofia in a transfer deal that will further intensify the competition for frontline playing time as the MLS season nears.
The move was announced by Levski and confirmed by United on Tuesday morning. He will join the team upon approval of a work visa, which could take several weeks.
United paid “low seven figures,” a person close to the situation said, for Robertha, 23, who has scored seven goals in his past five appearances and 20 times in 44 matches since joining Levski in July 2019.
