However, under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, regardless of whether the 2008 league MVP resigns with Columbus the Crew will still hold his MLS rights for 2010. Thus, should the Fire wish to acquire the Argentine forward, they will have to trade for him.
"Columbus still has his rights so I don't want to be saying anything too much," Klopas said. "I can only tell you that the guy's an experienced and good player. He's done very well in this league and for the Crew. But we don't have his rights so I'll just leave it at that."
To make a deal happen, Chicago would have to give up Marco Pappa as a starting point, and probably Nyarko. There is literally no other player on the Fire roster that would be of any sort of value to the Crew in a deal like this. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Schelotto won't be suiting up in red for any MLS team next year.
