Rumor
A real blockbuster trade is in the making. According to The Athletic, Lewis Morgan is about to move to the New York Red Bulls. The report says that both clubs have already agreed on a transfer fee of $1.2 million in Allocation Money. The deal would make Morgan the sixth most expensive signing in New York Red Bulls’ history.
The transfer would come as a huge surprise as Morgan was consistently one of the better players in his two seasons with Inter Miami. With a market value of $4.4m, Morgan is the second most expensive player on Miami’s squad.
However, David Beckham‘s club is plagued by concerns over its budget. In May, Inter Miami was fined around $2.2 million for violations of salary budgets and roster regulations. This penalty was split between 2022 and 2023. By trading Morgan, Inter Miami would free up $1.7 million ($1.2m allocation money plus $550,000 in salary). Enough to offset the club’s fine.
