USA star quits club over unpaid wages after row with MLS club over transfer fee

USMNT star Reggie Cannon has walked away from his club after outstanding wages were allegedly left unpaid following a failure to pay his transfer fee to his former MLS team.

The 28-time international earned himself a move to Portuguese top flight outfit Boavista in 2020 after his performances in his homeland caught the eye. Two full seasons in MLS with FC Dallas was enough to convince his most recent employers to part with some $3.25 million (£2.6 million) for his services - or so it had seemed.

However, fast-forward nearly three years and the fee that saw the 25-year-old swap the US for Europe was still yet to be paid as of March 4, 2023, according to The Athletic. It is claimed that the case was sent to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), who ruled in favour of FC Dallas.
