Washington, May 3 (SocialNews.XYZ) Major League Soccer (MLS) team DC United is in talks with midfielder Paul Arriola regarding a contract extension, local media reported on Saturday.
The team is trying to sign a two-year extension contract with Arriola, who's current contract runs through 2021, local media said, reports Xinhua news agency.
Arriola is currently rehabbing a torn ACL, which he suffered during a pre-season match just before the start of the 2020 season.
The 25-year-old started his professional career in Liga MX with Tijuana before joining United in 2017, where he'd emerged as a productive attacker and a versatile player capable of filling in at multiple roles.
Overall, Arriola has 14 goals and 12 assists across 68 career MLS games.
He's also been a regular part of the US men's national team rotation since getting his first senior cap in 2016, scoring five goals in 33 appearances for the team.
An extension would lock up another piece of DC United's core, as the club has also agreed to long-term deals with Julian Gressel, Steven Birnbaum and Russell Canouse.
