You can’t put a price on love, but it helped D.C. United afford a prolific MLS scorer

The first time Sebastien Le Toux‘s representative reached out this winter, D.C. United was not interested.

“It didn’t make any sense,” General Manager Dave Kasper said.

The much-traveled free agent brandished quality career numbers but also a considerable contract range. Not to mention, United was well-stocked in the attacking corps.

After the holidays, Le Toux ‘s agent, former teammate Stefani Miglioranzi, tried again, telling Kasper that the French forward really wanted to play in Washington — in part because of the proximity to his wife in Philadelphia.

United reconsidered. Negotiations commenced.
