St Louis City are pushing to sign Aberdeen’s Dante Polvara.

The Major League Soccer outfit has targeted the Dons midfielder.

Polvara was left out of the Aberdeen squad for the game with Livingston.

The 25-year-old is out-of-contract at Pittodrie in the summer.

Lutz Pfannenstiel’s former team wants to land the 25-year-old, while MLS rivals Columbus Crew are also interested.

St Louis are in the driving seat and hope to agree a six figure to land Polvara this month.

The MLS transfer window opens next week and is open until March 26th.

Aberdeen had made a significant offer to Polvara to extend his deal and rivals Hibs have also tabled an offer.

Polvara’s preference, though, is to return to America for family reasons.

It now remains to be seen if a deal can be done now or if he leaves for nothing in the summer.

The American has been at Aberdeen for four years since he moved from Georgetown Hoyas back in 2022.

Polvara has been unlucky with injury in his time at Pittodrie and had a loan spell at Charleston Battery.

He had struggled to get a regular run under Jimmy Thelin and had admitted he wanted more games before he would make a decision on his future.

Polvara did get more of a run before Thelin departed and has featured more under interim Peter Leven.
