Report: Diskerud set for loan spell with Swedish side IFK Goteborg
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.
MLS and IFK Goteborg recently negotiated a move for Minnesota United goalkeeper John Alvbage.
