This morning, ESPN reported that star US defender Oguchi Onyewu has signed a three year contract with AC Milan.
This is probably the biggest transfer involving an American player in some time. Onyewu is coming off a good showing at the Confederation's Cup where he and Jay DeMerit shut down a Spanish offense for 90+ minutes and enforced their will on the Brazilian attack for the first 45 minutes before falling apart.
He was apparently clear for a free transfer after completing his stay with Belgian side Standard Liege. I think that this is a great move, because at 27 years old, he needed to make the move to a bigger league, where he could really showcase his talent.
