Steffen, 28, has been expected to leave the Citizens since last summer and has been prevented from seeing the field – either for Man City or on loan – due to a knee injury that required surgery last May.
Steffen is motivated to move stateside by a lack of playing time with Man City, having made just 21 league and cup appearances since securing a move back in 2020.
Starting in 2014, Steffen has played for Freiburg‘s second team and the Columbus Crew, a period that included a loan spell with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL Championship.
Following his $7m move to Man City in 2019, Steffen also had loan spells with Bundesliga side Fortuna Dusseldorf in 2019-20, as well as a later loan to Middlesbrough in the EFL Championship, which saw him make 45 league and cup appearances during the 2022-23 season.
