The Vancouver Whitecaps have transferred U.S. men's national team midfielder Sebastian Berhalter to EFL Championship side Middlesbrough FC. Financial terms were not officially disclosed, but multiple reports indicate a $2 million transfer fee, with Vancouver retaining a sell-on percentage for any future transfer. Berhalter, 25, spent parts of seven seasons in MLS with Columbus Crew, Austin FC, and Vancouver, recording 14 goals and 27 assists in 147 regular-season matches. He made his USMNT debut in 2025 under coach Mauricio Pochettino and appeared in five matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including one start. Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster expressed gratitude for Berhalter's contributions and noted that the move to Europe was a desired opportunity for the player.
