McBride is currently on load to Everton and is due to return before the end of the season, in time for the summer season in America.
"The fact is that we have not received any sort of offer from Everton, nor have we ever specified a transfer fee," said MLS senior director of communications, Trey Fitz-Gerald.
"Everton has consistently told us that they have no interest in making the loan permanent because of their financial priorities."
