Sporting Kansas City, Jose Mauri reach mutual contract termination

Jose Mauri SKC

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Mutual contract termination

Sporting Kansas City have mutually agreed to terminate the contract of midfielder Jose Mauri after an eight-month run in MLS, the club announced Tuesday.

Mauri ultimately had one goal and one assist across 10 matches (eight starts) for SKC, last featuring on Feb. 27 (opening weekend) in a 3-1 loss at Atlanta United. He played 27 minutes as a second-half substitute for Oriol Rosell, though was removed well before the final whistle.

The move opens an international roster spot on SKC’s roster.

The 25-year-old arrived at SKC last August after the club transferred US men’s national team and homegrown midfielder Gianluca Busio to Italian Serie A side Venezia. He last played for Talleres in his native Argentina, plus featured for AC Milan, Empoli and Parma in Italy.
