As first reported by Jeff Carlise of ESPN, New York City FC homegrown defender Joe Scally has been sold to current Bundesliga leading side Borussia Monchengladbach. Sources told ESPN that the initial fee is for around $2 million, with bonuses that can add up to around $7 million when all is said and done. The deal will not come into effect till 2021, meaning Scally will remain with the Pigeons till the end of the 2020 MLS season.
Scally was a highly regarded youth prospect in the NYCFC system and the 16-year-old earned a first-team contract before the 2018 season.
