Curtin: Elías Aguilar ‘not a fit’ for the team

Costa Rican international midfielder Elías Aguilar’s time with the Philadelphia Union has come to an end, and it appears as though he won’t be joining the club.

Head coach Jim Curtin said Aguilar was “not a fit for the team” during a press conference on Tuesday.

He also pushed back against reports of contract negotiations getting hung up over a disagreement over whether a deal with his current club, CS Herediano in Costa Rica, would be a loan or sale of the 25-year-old attacking midfielder.

“He came in had a good four days of training with the group,” Curtin said.
