Per a BBC reporter, SKC declined a $500,000 transfer offer from Israeli champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva for the services of midfield linchpin Benny Feilhaber.
In Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl's soccer stories roundup for today, a very interesting piece of news for Sporting Kansas City fans was included at the very end: according to the BBC's Raphael Gellar, SKC turned down a bid of $500,000 from Israeli champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva for central midfielder Benny Feilhaber.
This would not be out of character for Sporting--while the club is often keen to cash in on players wanting to move abroad (Kei Kamara, Uri Rosell, and so on), they have also in the past allowed a key player's contract to run out and risk losing them on a free transfer--Roger Espinoza's move to Wigan in England, if you remember, was one such free transfer.
