D.C. United announced today the club has agreed to transfer midfielder Bryan Arguez to Hertha Berlin of the German Bundesliga. Arguez spent his only Major League Soccer Season in the Nation's Capital, having been drafted by United in the first round (11th overall) of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. Per MLS and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"This opportunity for Bryan was something that he really wanted to happen," said United General Manager Dave Kasper. "We were able to reach a favorable transfer agreement with Hertha Berlin that will enable us to reinvest allocation money back into our team. We wish Bryan and his new team the best going forward."</p>
During his brief stint with the Black-and-Red, Arguez did not see any first team action. The Miami, FL native saw action in nine reserve games (all starts), however, scoring once in 753 total minutes. Internationally, Arguez spent considerable time in 2007 with the U.S. U-20 National Team, including, being named to the side representing the United States at the 2007 Youth World Cup.
