Brotherly Game Daily Links: Aaronson makes historic move to Austria

Philadelphia Union announces Brenden Aaronson transfer to RB Salzburg
The 19-year-old Philadelphia Union homegrown will be transferred to the Austrian Bundesliga club at the end of the season on a deal that sets a transfer fee record not only for the team but for an American homegrown player in MLS. He’ll be eligible to play when the international transfer window opens in January.

For Aaronson the person and the player, Salzburg was the perfect fit
While the sale was rumored for many weeks, the journey to a final agreement started far earlier than fans might have known.
