Matt Miazga is on his way back to MLS.
FC Cincinnati is reportedly signing the U.S. international center back on a free transfer from Chelsea just prior to the close of MLS’s secondary transfer window, according to MLSSoccer.com, ending Miazga’s time abroad—at least for now—after six loan-filled years. Miazga left the New York Red Bulls for Chelsea in January 2016 in a transfer worth a reported $5 million. He hardly featured for the Premier League side, though, making just two appearances for the Blues, both coming in his first half-season at Stamford Bridge.
Since then, he was loaned to Vitesse, Nantes, Reading, Anderlecht and Alavés, earning considerably more playing time but never truly increasing the likelihood that he would feature for his parent club.
