Jata Gets "THE CALL" - Destination: France

With several countries still eyeing former Campbell University midfielder Richard Jata, a team in South France looks to act first. Earlier today Jata received a call summoning him to France, IMMEDIATELY! After talking to his agent and team personnel, Jata agreed to fly out this Thursday with intentions of signing his first professional contract. All the details have not yet been finalized, but it looks like the team in question is looking to add Jata before anybody else can get a good look at him. This move could prove to be very costly for the Chicago Fire because if Jata signs, they lose every opportunity of having him back next preseason. With Blanco and McBride nearing the end of their careers, the Fire will have to look elsewhere for attacking power.

Currently Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom were just some of the countries expressing interest in Jata, but it looks as if the highly talented attacker will be making the move to France. Jata currently lives in Chicago, but with the seriousness expressed by the team(soon to be released) he might just be leaving the windy city behind for good. Jata's quick departure shows that the team is extremely interested and it's possible that his first professional contract could be drawn up as soon as Friday. More updates on the way!

Here's a sneak peak of the team.........
