D.C. United has left very little to doubt on the field this year. The club has yet to lose a match, and has been dominant through stretches of almost every one of its games. New signings have been productive. The stands, largely, have been full.



The playoffs – a deep run, even – seem like a realistic expectation.



But will Luciano Acosta even be around for them?



Rumors have been swirling about Acosta’s potential departure since French giants Paris Saint-Germain made an ultimately unsuccessful play for his services in late January.



Now, The Athletic has learned that as many as five clubs have expressed interest in acquiring Acosta. According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, the interest has come from at least two clubs from France’s Ligue 1, a Saudi club and a mid-table English Premier League side. That’s in addition to reported interest from Turkish side Fenerbahce, which The Athletic has confirmed.
