The Vancouver Whitecaps have agreed to transfer United States men’s national team midfielder Sebastian Berhalter to English club Middlesbrough FC for a fee of $2 million, according to a report from The Athletic on Thursday.
Berhalter, 25, was in the midst of a career Major League Soccer season with the Whitecaps before being called up by United States men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In 18 appearances in all competitions, he scored seven goals and four assists.
At the World Cup, Berhalter played in every game, highlighted by a goal and an assist in the United States’ group stage final against Türkiye at Los Angeles Stadium. He was one of eight MLS players called up for the World Cup.
Berhalter now joins Middlesbrough FC in the EFL Championship, the second division of English football. Middlesbrough finished fifth in the table last season with fellow American Aidan Morris starring for the club.
