He still largely is—hence why he’s in MLS to begin with—but, still, he’s definitely been making the most out of his American sabbatical.

Columbus Crew SC, in conjunction with MLS czar Don Garber, has crossed one of the final checkpoints in their plan to move the team to Austin as early as next season.
