A report by FourFourTwo earlier this week from the MLS SuperDraft revealed that Minnesota United made a strong offer to try and pry Kevin Molino away from Orlando City. The Lions turned down the offer, which we said was a smart play on City’s part due to the Trinidadian midfielder’s importance in the side.
One issue raised in the FFT report, however, was that of Molino’s contract.
The story indicated that Molino believes he deserves a pay raise, but other financial issues — such as the $420,000 base salary of David Mateos, among others — have prevented Orlando City from bumping The Original’s pay grade to this point.
