Goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón leaves Philadelphia Union

The Union and star goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón agreed to part ways today, upending what had been arguably the team's most secure position on the very first day of preseason training.

There have been multiple reports in recent days out of Colombia that a deal was in place for Mondragón to return to his native country, and wrap up his professional career with his original club, Deportivo Cali.
