Luciano Emilio to leave DC United

Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Wed, 12/09/2009 - 03:12

DC United striker Luciano Emilio looks set to leave the club because of salary issues according to the Washington Post.

The 30-year old can leave on a free transfer next month and it seems a likely scenario as DC are looking to lower his rate.

The Brazilian was on a base salary of $720,00 last season, well above the Designated Player salary, and after a drop in form, DC have yet to offer him a new deal.

Luciano scored just ten goals last season – half of what he produced in 2007 – and the option of moving on to a club outside of MLS may be appealing if the club wants to spend less on him.
