The Transfer

Matias Sanchez linked with move to Columbus Crew

Defensive midfielder Matias Sanchez is said to be on the way to the USA to accelerate talk to join the Columbus Crew.  Chilean side Colo Colo apparently also had interest in Sanchez, but that deal has fallen through.

The 25-year old Argentinian has played in 46 games for Racing Club and a further 94 for Estudiantes where he was part of the 2009 Copa Libertadores and 2010 Apertura champion winners.

Sanchez also was part of the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup champion squad for his native Argentina.

Only featuring in 4 games for the Rapids after joining mid-season from Montreal Impact, the 28-year old was not selected during the 2012 Re-Entry Draft and therefore was open to negotiate with all MLS clubs.
