Reports indicate that the Chicago Fire have contacted Inter Miami about acquiring Allen in a deal worth around $2.5 million. While it currently appears that a move to Chicago may not happen, there's a much bigger story here:
Other MLS teams are interested in Noah Allen.
On this episode of Battered Herons, we're discussing what that means for Allen's future and whether Inter Miami could eventually be tempted into selling him.
And our question is simple: Why would you want to?
At a time when Inter Miami's defense has been one of the biggest concerns surrounding the team, Allen has become an extremely valuable piece of the roster. His age, versatility and ability to play multiple positions make him exactly the type of player Miami should be trying to keep.
We'll discuss Chicago's reported interest, whether $2.5 million should even get Miami's attention, what Allen means to this roster, what it would take for us to consider selling him and whether interest from other clubs could eventually lead to a bigger offer.
Inter Miami has plenty of problems to solve right now.
Creating another one by selling Noah Allen shouldn't be one of them.
