Last week, Vincent Nogueira and the Philadelphia Union mutually parted ways due to an undisclosed health issue. The club cited "personal health issues" and stated that Nogueira would return to France. Earlier today, it was made official that the midfielder has signed a two-year contract with Ligue 2 side RC Strasbourg Alsace.
Because he and the Union mutually parted ways, the Union will not receive any financial compensation or transfer fee for Nogueira. Since Nogueira's departure was disclosed as health-related, many fans understood why a break from soccer was necessary; however, fans are confused and a little irritated after hearing that Nogueira has already signed with another club.
