While the Red Bulls practically gutted their midfield this offseason, New York City FC continue to bolster theirs.
NYCFC announced Wednesday they have signed attacking midfielder Maximiliano Moralez from Club Leon to a three-year deal as their third Designated Player.
Moralez, who turns 30 later this month, looks to provide NYCFC their first true playmaker (often referred to as a number-ten role) behind David Villa, something the team hasn’t had in their first two seasons in MLS. He’s played for clubs in Argentina, Russia and Italy as well as Mexico with Leon.
