Maybe half that.Are they trying to low-ball us? It's the only way I can see them holding onto him if he has European aspiration.
I'd have to think he'd at least go for $10M. MLS all star caliber, starter for us nats, good size and speed, and young enough.
He's in basically the same situation that Geoff Cameron was, and Cameron moved for something like $2.5 million. I know the transfer market is inflated compared to 2012, but that rise hasn't impacted centerbacks nearing their late 20s all that much.
The list of 8-figure transfers out of MLS is like, Almiron, Davies, and Altidore. Long isn't commanding that sort of fee, good as he may be.
