After a successful World Cup, Landon Donovan’s stock is at an all time high.

“If we need to have a discussion at some point, then we will,” Donovan said about the situation. “But at this point that’s his opinion. If I were the commissioner I would say the same thing.”

Any potential deal would have to be worth a record amount of money. Donovan greed in December to a four-year contract with MLS $2.05 million per year, a number that could shoot up to the $10 million range if he signs with Man City.
