da brdice： As reported by The Daily Mail, Aston Villa star Ross McCormack could be on the verge of an exit from the club with Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids interested in signing him.
What’s the story?
da winzada777： The new MLS season kicks off at the start of March meaning clubs across North America are looking at available talents on the fringes of squads around Europe.
The English Championship can be a great hunting ground and it appears one team has cast their eye on Aston Villa.
The Daily Mail report that Colorado Rapids are interested in signing Villa outcast Ross McCormack, alongside Wolves forward Joe Mason.
The Scottish attacker has failed to win a place back in Steve Bruce’s first team squad after returning on loan from Melbourne Victory, where he scored an impressive 14 goals in 17 appearances this season.
Is it time for him to exit the club again?
Unrecoverable?
It’s fair to say that Ross McCormack has been a major flop at Aston Villa. Signed for a reported £12m in 2016, the attacker has scored just three goals for the club since then.
A return to Bruce’s attack seems unlikely too, despite his excellent loan spell in Australia. Villa signed Lewis Grabban in January to provide cover in the same position, even though McCormack had returned to the club.
Now rated as worth £4.5m by Transfermarkt, Villa are unlikely to receive much of their £12m back, bu it’s best for all involved if he again leaves Birmingham, even if it just means the club don’t have to pay his wages.
For the player too it makes sense, he clearly enjoyed his time on loan given his scoring form and a move to pastures new can only benefit him compared to languishing on the fringes of the Villa squad.
