A report from Argentina claims that Estudiantes de La Plata are interested in loaning midfielder Lucas Rodriguez out to MLS, and several Argentine reporters are saying that D.C. United has the inside track on the move. Talks are reportedly advanced, with a loan with purchase options in June and December a possibility. Another report claims an offer has been made but that Estudiantes would rather sell Rodriguez outright than send him on loan.
The 21 year old appears to play both centrally and on the left for EDLP, and has appeared in all 15 of their games this season (starting 14).
