Sporting KC’s Dom Dwyer traded to Orlando in record deal
Sporting Kansas City forward Dom Dwyer has been traded to Orlando City for what could be a Major League Soccer-record $1.6 million.
Orlando traded $900,000 in guaranteed allocation money plus more based on performance in the deal for Dwyer, who recently got his first call-up for the U.S. national team after becoming a citizen.
Sporting Kansas City coach Peter Vermes praised Dwyer for his play on the field and for being a “tremendous ambassador” for the team.
“How do we replace Dom? I don’t know that we do. Go find another player maybe that gives you other strengths that you can work with. But tremendous player and a great guy for our club and that’s not going to be easy to replace,” Vermes said on a conference call Tuesday after the trade was announced.
