Report: McBride on his way to Fire
Posted July 25, 2008 11:00 pm
Brian McBride finally appears to be going home.
Toronto FC has agreed in principle to trade its rights to the former U.S. national team striker to the Chicago Fire, a person familiar with the negotiations said.
With the move, McBride returns to the United States after four years with Fulham in the English Premier League.
The announcement on McBride, a native of Arlington Heights and a Buffalo Grove High School product, could come as early as Monday, said the person, who requested anonymity because all details were not complete.
The 36-year-old McBride, who played eight years in MLS for the Columbus Crew before joining Fulham, finished his contract with the London club in May.
