Minnesota United are set to receive a hefty cash boost with the sale of one of their star players amid their recent interest in signing Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng.
Spanish giants Villarreal have reportedly agreed a fee in principle in the region of $7,5 million (R132 million) for Minnesota United forward Tani Oluwaseyi, who has scored 12 goals and added eight assists so far this season, according to GiveMeSport.
It marks the best season of the Canadian international’s career so far as the Loons currently sit second in the MLS Western Conference with just seven games left of the regular season.
It would be a welcome boost to Bongokuhle Hlongwane’s side, who are reportedly in talks for Hlongwane’s South African teammate and Orlando Pirates forward Relebohile Mofokeng.
Reports from America claim that a $2 million (R35 million) bid was lodged for the Pirates forward.
The deadline to sign players ends on Thursday night for MLS sides.
