Last week we reported on the news out of Great Britain that Sporting Kansas City had turned down a $500,000 transfer fee during the summer transfer window from Israeli champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva for the services of attacking midfielder Benny Feilhaber. This week, Major League Soccer is adding to that report by sharing news from Feilhaber himself that there has also been interest from other clubs in other leagues, including Mexico's Liga MX, where several high-profile MLS players like Omar Gonzalez and Erick "Cubo" Torres have transferred to of late.
If we are to take Benny's "there's not anything on the table" statement at face value, it does not sound like there has been a formal contract offer made to him yet, but the fact that Benny is revealing that fact as opposed to resorting to the "I'm just focused on doing my best right now" boilerplate that athletes often resort to during contract discussions is quintessentially Benny.
