The Montreal Impact front office has reportedly been busy this offseason fielding loan offers for two of their international stars: Didier Drogba and reigning MLS Defender of the Year Laurent Ciman.
According to a report from Goal.com, they also fielded a significant offer to part ways permanently with Argentine playmaker Ignacio Piatti.
Citing a “source,” the report indicated that Montreal turned down a transfer offer from a “Latin American club” in excess of $5 million for Piatti’s services. Piatti is a hot commodity for good reason, having transformed the Impact into a contender since joining the club late in the 2014 season.
