Manchester United's Anderson is LA Galaxy's top priority

After a tumultuous couple of months of missed Designated Player signings, the Galaxy are back at it. After failing to land Frank Lampard and Gio Dos Santos, MLS Transfers has learned that the Galaxy front office are ready to make a splash loan signing for Manchester United midfielder, Anderson.

After speaking with multiple sources, it seems that the Galaxy are looking to offer the midfielder a loan spell that would end in December, with an option to buy the player if he fits the clubs long term needs.

Anderson has only played 23 league games the past 2 season with the historic club and a source says he's "desperate for playing time". With United looking into signing Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, his playing time may dwindle even more.

No formal contact between the player and LA front office have been made but a source says Technical Director Jovan Kirovski has made a call about Anderson to an unidentified member of the Manchester United technical staff.

Anderson is valued at $9 million, which would make it the highest transfer for a player going into MLS so deciding on a fee could be a stumbling block a source says.

The source also stated, "Although Anderson loves the club, he needs to move. A loan spell in LA might be the trick to help David Moyes see his true potential. Moyes values MLS as he's taken Landon Donovan under his wing at Everton and thinks highly of Tim Cahill and Thierry Henry. He'd probably be one of the few managers at a high level club okay with the the idea of a Manchester United player on loan in MLS."

Stayed tuned folks.

Rumor Round-Up July 14, 2013

Here's the latest rumors throughout MLS:

Canadian de Jong impresses MLS sides:

26 year old Marcel de Jong is turning heads with his performances at the Gold Cup. Although Canada has been eliminated from the competition, a source says a few MLS sides are interested in the defender/midfielders services. Marcel is currently with German Bundesliga side Augsburg and his market value is listed at 1.1 million Euros, making it seem unlikely for a team to nab him unless they want him to be a Designated Player.

Agudelo drawing more interest: 

Although the young American player has gone on training stints with Stuttgart, Liverpool and Celtic in the past few years, he has yet to step foot in a professional game for a European team. And that might stay par for the course as MLS Transfers has learned that Argentinean side Rosario Central are looking into drawing the player to South America to further his development. At only 20 years old, could this be the move that could really help Agudelo to his European dreams?

Houston ready to pounce on Brentford striker:

Source says the Dynamo are ready to send a bid to English club Brentford for forward Clayton Donaldson. Donaldson scored 24 goals for the club last season and is apparently looking for a move to a bigger club. Interest was first reported by Sky Sports.

Tim Cahill to...Moscow?:

We'll keep the strangest news for last as a source from Russia contacted us to let us know that a possible January loan move to Dynamo Moscow could be in the works for the New York Red Bulls midfielder. Luke Wilshire, a fellow Australian international who plays for Dynamo Moscow has apparently suggested to head coach Dan Petrescu to take a look at the 33 year-old midfielder in the winter transfer window. Petrescu, who surely knows of Cahill, as he played in England from 1994-2002, could be keen on making a move as Cahill has stated that he would a consider a loan to keep in shape for the 2014 World Cup. More news on this front as we get closer to the winter.


Other rumors: 

Multiple outlets have reported Jonathan Bornstein might be heading to Chvias USA. We have spoken to a contact close to the situation and they had no comment on the situation.


So what do we think about a possible Agudelo move, or a new Dynamo forward? Let us know in the comments below.

Christmas Eve? No, better. Transfer Eve.

Source close to the situation in San Jose is saying the Earthquakes are readying a bid for former Celtic winger Paddy McCourt. The 29 year-old is currently on trial with Birmingham City while they look to see if he could fit in at the club. If Birmingham City passes, San Jose will try their hardest to lure in the Northern Ireland international.

Philly Rescind Offer to Flamini

Reported by us last week, it seems as if now the Union are pulling back the bid. A source says the club is looking for targets more in the clubs price range. The source said the Union presented a 18 month, $4 million contract to the player but had not responded back in the short amount of time it was offered.

Quick Hits

- Forlan to TFC or not? Our sources say he is still the leading candidate and have talked to Forlan over the    past three weeks but other options are lined up as well. If not Forlan, another big DP could be on their way over.
