Must be the offseason: Kai Wagner reportedly being targeted overseas

Transfer rumors swirling around Philadelphia Union left back Kai Wagner are almost as sure of a thing as the weather getting colder in December.

After an offseason last year where he seemed he might really be gone this time – he even had a goodbye party for his neighbors – the 27-year-old returned on a new deal. Now a year later come reports that Burnley and Coventry are among the potential suitors looking to sign him in the winter transfer window.

As in the past, the rumors of Wagner’s pending departure are just that.

Philadelphia Union fans probably shouldn’t put too much stock in any reports until he returns his recently acquired Cybertruck and posts a photo on Instagram of himself signing a new contract elsewhere with a scarf or jersey with the new team’s colors in hand.
