Multiple outlets are reporting that an agreement is in place that would transfer FC Dallas defender George John to the Blackburn Rovers of the English Premier League. A report out of England passingly mentions John is heading there for a physical, while Ives Galarcep said all that needs to be worked out is personal terms:
FC Dallas, Blackburn Reportedly Agree To Terms On George John Transfer
George John heading to Greece 2 secure passport/ID, THEN John & Blackburn have 2 negotiate personal terms. Deal not DONE yet, but on the way
John told Big D Soccer that he already is a Greek citizen, so obtaining the proper paperwork should be little more than a formality. John is currently making just $42,000 a year, so a move to the EPL would likely mean a huge pay raise. Previous reports have suggested that Blackburn was offering about $2 million to acquire John’s rights.
