Sporting KC’s Vermes shoots down rumors of Gianluca Busio departure

According to Sporting Kansas City Technical Director and Manager Peter Vermes, 16-year-old Gianluca Busio is not headed anywhere anytime soon.

As reported by our own Mike Kuhn (@mikedkuhn) on Twitter and Chad C Smith (@PlayFor90) at thebluetestament.com, last Friday, former New England Revolution star and US National Team vet Taylor Twellman blatantly stated that he would “be shocked if Busio is [at Sporting KC] much longer” due to many “people that are calling for his services” while Twellman was serving as an MLS SuperDraft panelist during the league’s coverage.

Busio was signed in August of 2017 out of Sporting’s academy system.
