It’s been just a little more than two weeks since Alphonso Davies’ big-money sale from the Vancouver Whitecaps to Bayern Munich caused an earthquake in Major League Soccer, and the aftershocks are still being felt.
Among the places feeling the trembles is Philadelphia, and not just because part of the Davies saga unfolded here. The next homegrown player to move from MLS to a European club could very well come from the Union. It could be Auston Trusty, perhaps, or Anthony Fontana or Mark McKenzie.
None of them will go for $13.5 million, which is what Bayern paid for Davies — and it could surpass $20 million with performance bonuses.
