- USMNT striker due to join the Championship club on loan
- Blackburn incorrectly submitted documents to transfer system
Orlando City and USMNT forward Duncan McGuire’s transfer to Blackburn Rovers broke down due to an “administrative error”, the English club said in a statement on Wednesday.
McGuire was due to join the Championship club on an initial loan until the summer with an option to buy. The two clubs had initially agreed to a $4m permanent deal in the waning days of the January transfer window, but the transfer was cancelled with McGuire mid-flight from Orlando’s training camp in Mexico.
