The Rapids made the Mihailovic signing official today, as we expected. He's signed as a DP on a 4 year deal, with a 5th year as a team option. The $3M transfer fee is a team record, jumping to the top of the top5 list that (per BW) is Mihailovic, Juan Ramirez, Jack Price, Max, and Marko Ilic. Outside of Captain Jack the rest of that list is very uninspiring so far from a Rapids POV. Hopefully Mihailovic can turn that around.
Also today Colorado announced that Max has been transferred to Cuiabá in Brazil. Nothing has been confirmed on any transfer fee paid (unlikely) but there is a report that the Rapids have a 35% sell-on clause. There is still no resolution to to the allegations that he was involved in match-fixing, and in fact the press release calls out that the MLS investigation is on-going. He is supposed to be introduced by Cuiabá in a press conference this week and will presumably have to address it.
Finally tonight Burgundy Wave is reporting that Cole Bassett is signing a new 4- year deal as a U-22 player. This is a great move if it happens, but we'll get into the details on that when its official.
