Max Arfsten, Middlesbrough and Columbus Crew
Friday
Middlesbrough are finalising a transfer for United States wing-back Max Arfsten from Columbus Crew. The Championship club could pay up to $7.5m including add-ons, while Columbus will retain a percentage of any future sale.
Arfsten is expected to travel for formalities before joining USMNT teammates Sebastian Berhalter and Aidan Morris. If every add-on is reached, the deal would become the third-largest outgoing transfer in Columbus Crew history and another major MLS export.
