Well deserved. FCD needs to get him under contract ASAP. He is currently on loan from Atletico Paranaense (Brazil). It probably will not be cheap.

If he's that good he will get interest from Europe and those offers will always trump what the MLS can do unfortunately.

He may not be "Europe good," but he is the engine that makes the FCD offense go. He has had a part in 5 of the 6 goals scored this postseason by Dallas. I believe his current salary is around $300,000. The money I was referring to was transfer fee it will likely take to "purchase" him from the Brazilian club...unless they are cool with just extending the loan.

That's good for MLS actually. If American kids start seeing MLS as a springboard to a lucrative soccer career, we'll be able to develop home grown players that will have an impact on international competition and help improve the quality (and popularity) of MLS.
