Berhalter to Middlesbrough transfer reported

Sebastian Berhalter is poised to leave the Vancouver Whitecaps for Middlesbrough in the English Championship for about $2 million, with the transfer occurring as he nears the end of his contract and the Whitecaps receiving a below-market fee. The move follows his World Cup performances and MLS Best XI recognition, and he will link up with fellow American Aidan Morris as he seeks a fresh challenge abroad.
