The Vancouver Whitecaps have agreed to transfer United States men’s national team midfielder Sebastian Berhalter to English club Middlesbrough FC for a reported $2 million, according to a report Thursday by The Athletic.
Berhalter, 25, was in the midst of a career Major League Soccer season with the Whitecaps before being called up by United States men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In 18 appearances in all competitions, he has seven goals and four assists.
At the World Cup, Berhalter played in every match, including recording a goal and an assist in the United States’ group stage final against Turkey at Los Angeles Stadium. He was one of eight MLS players called up for the World Cup.
Berhalter now joins Middlesbrough FC in the EFL Championship, the second division of English football. Middlesbrough finished fifth in the table last season with fellow American Aidan Morris starring for the club.
