Sources: Caleb Stanko set to sign with FC Cincinnati
FC Cincinnati's quest for a defensive midfield anchor has led the Major League Soccer expansion club to a European-based American who is ready to return home.
FC Cincinnati is finalizing the acquisition of midfielder Caleb Stanko, multiple sources have confirmed to Goal. The defensive midfielder is joining Cincinnati from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg for an undisclosed fee after Cincinnati claimed Stanko via the MLS discovery process.
Stanko will look to lock down the defensive midfield role Cincinnati had originally hoped to fill with veteran midfielder Osvaldo Alonso, who wound up signing a free agent contract with Minnesota United instead.
