Gregg Berhalter said Columbus Crew SC would not move winger Justin Meram unless the team received an offer that could significantly help the club. This followed Meram requesting a trade this offseason, reported both due to seeking another challenge and the uncertain of potential relocation.
The Black & Gold got what they were looking for.
Crew SC have reportedly traded Meram to Orlando City SC in exchange for $1.05 million in allocation money plus an international roster spot. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle.
