Details from Sochaux on Nogueira deal

A very reliable source in Sochaux has let MLS Transfers know some details of the Nogueira deal.

-The Union approached Sochaux some weeks ago about a transfer for Nogueira.

-Sochaux originally wanted somewhere around $2 million for him and the Union "immediately laughed at this".

-After some weeks of back and forth banter, a $200k price was put on Nogueira in which the Union agreed to pay.

-The Union will owe Sochaux an extra $150k if they get relegated from Ligue 1 at the end of May 2014 AND will have the first rights back to Nogueira if they get promoted to Ligue 1 and the player wants to go back to France.

- Ronald is interested in all options that become available to him after June 

And most importantly to Red Bull fans...

Vargas Update: Red Bulls declines 3 million euro offer, more new information

Via Visionoventa.com

We recently spoke with Daniel Prat, writer for The National in Venezuela, and he has told MLS Transfers a few updates on Ronald Vargas to New York.

First thing, New York has had contact with Anderlecht this week about Vargas. It seems that both parties are interested in the deal.

Daniel reported that Anderlecht wanted 3 million euros for Vargas but New York swiftly declined that offer. Negotiations are ongoing and more news is expected sometime tomorrow.

Daniel also tells us that Vargas' sister does not live in New Jersey, but his father-in-law has a house in New Jersey that they visited "three of four times" over the last year. Family is still very important to him and has a factor in where he wants to play.

Keep checking into this space as we will have updates fast and furious over the next few days.
