Sporting KC Terminate the Contract of Jose Mauri
Mauri’s last game in a Sporting KC uniform.On Tuesday, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club “has mutually agreed to terminate the contract of midfielder Jose Mauri.” This may come as a surprise to many who presumed he was already out of the club when Peter Vermes shocked everyone at media day stating they were parting ways.
In a recent media availability, The Blue Testament asked Vermes why he was still on the roster and it was confirmed that they were looking for a way to remove him from the roster that gave them flexibility. Basically, if they just cut him, they are on the hook for his at least $660,000 salary.
