While playing for the Union, Gazdag had his fair share of matchups against the Crew, which he considered to be "annoying" as he often found himself having to chase the ball rather than retain it, and was usually on the losing side. Those traits put Columbus at the top of his list for possible landing spots.

The Columbus Crew remain one of the last two unbeaten teams in Major League Soccer and are set to acquire one of the best attacking midfielders in the league. A source confirmed to NBC4’s Whitney Harding that the Crew have agreed to terms with the Philadelphia Union to acquire Hungarian midfielder Daniel Gazdag.
