A DC United and Yamil Asad reunion might be on the cards this week according to The Washington Post‘s Steven Goff.
Goff reports that United is currently engaged in talks with Asad, and have “grown increasingly confident in striking a deal.” The two sides have time until Friday’s MLS roster freeze deadline to strike an agreement.
Asad spent the 2018 MLS season on loan at DC United from Argentina side Vélez Sarsfield and managed to put up some impressive performances. He finished his loan stint with 31 appearances while scoring nine goals and providing five assists.
DC United was very interested in keeping Yamil Asad on a permanent transfer after the loan agreement ended, but they couldn’t find common ground with Vélez. Asad returned to Argentina in January but failed to carry over his good form from MLS. The 25-year-old played only one game in the second part of 2018/19 season of Superliga Argentina before being released by the club.
According to reports, Asad is currently also engaged in negotiation talks with several other teams besides United. He drew interest from clubs from Greece as well as other MLS teams.
