Finally, some good news this week.
After a month of speculation, New York City FC confirmed this afternoon that Maxi Moralez — who has been with the club since 2017 — has signed a new two-year Designated Player contract ahead of his current contract’s expiration after this year.
In his third year with the club, Moralez has had an excellent 2019 season. In 28 games, the diminutive attacking midfielder has collected 7 goals and a staggering 20 assists, the latter of which is good for the best in all of MLS.
