FC Dallas and U.S. men's national team right back Reggie Cannon is on the move, leaving his MLS club for a transfer to Portugal's Boavista FC.
FC Dallas announced the transfer of its 22-year-old homegrown defender on Wednesday, the latest of the club's academy products to make a move overseas. He'll go to a first-division side that finished 12 in the 18-team Primeira Liga a season ago. The fee is reportedly in the $3 million range.
An interesting wrinkle about Boavista is that it is reportedly close to sharing ownership with Ligue 1 club Lille–the same club that employs USA's Tim Weah and Canada's Jonathan David–with Gerard Lopez said to be on the verge of assuming a majority stake.
