Mix Diskerud may not be a member of New York City FC any longer, but the pesky matter of what to do with his hefty salary and MLS contract remains unresolved. However, ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle reports Diskerud is set to join Swedish outfit IFK Goteborg on loan to give NYCFC some minor cap relief.

Diskerud, who last year made a base salary of $761,250, is set to complete his move to Sweden in the next 24-48 hours, according to Carlisle, with NYCFC still responsible for paying a large part of his wages after buying out his contract earlier in the week.

The 26-year-old posted a cryptic message on his Instagram account last week, which was the first indication of his departure from the Big Apple.

Somebody told me I'm not part of a plan and if he was I - he'd run like the others ran 'cause the budget is tight and binding contracts might be broken, to improve 5-6 positions - in exchange for only one man. - He went on to say; "the message is clear - unless you're clueless - 'cause you've lived it all'year since the budget is tight and binding contracts might not need to be broken if.... you crack, kneel or leave the hemisphere" - Who could tell so straight and clearly tales of destiny I fight sincerely when mental games are attempting aims to make me rage severely? - On and on the conversation went about money spent and special rules and mgt's tools and something about allocation being different cent - I wish I had right there - my pad 'cause then my favorite line fused by Robin Williams spine would play dead poets - real bad
