CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. — Paris Saint-Germain, one of the wealthiest and most ambitious soccer clubs in the world, has made a lucrative offer for D.C. United playmaker Luciano Acosta, people familiar with the talks said Wednesday night.
The French giants are aiming to buy Acosta, 24, before the European winter transfer market closes Thursday evening. The exact figure has not been set, one source said, but is in the $10 million range.
If that number proves to be true, United would have a hard time turning down what would become the largest sale, by far, in the MLS organization’s 23-year history and allow Acosta to test himself in the torrent of European soccer.
