Citing only a "source," a Goal.com report suggests that the Impact received a $5 million offer for their #10 - which they declined.
Joey Saputo made a subtle gesture when he declined an offer to sell Ignacio Piatti to an unnamed Latin American club, as per reports. Saputo stood to pocket $5 million had he accepted the deal, but preferred the idea of the potential successful of his team over the prospect of profits.
In many ways, however, this gesture is not subtle. By choosing to not sell the Impact's most lethal midfielder at what is arguably a very fair price, Saputo sent a strong message to his locker room that the team is interested in winning.
