New York City winger Talles Magno could be set to leave MLS for Europe

With the arrival of the transfer window, the City Group is hoping to build a competitive squad for New York City ahead of the new MLS season. AS can confirm that talented winger Talles Magno is looking for a move away from MLS this transfer window and while there is talk of a possible return to Brazil, all the signs point to a move to Europe.

Magno (21) arrived in New York over a season and a half ago from Brazilian side Vasco da Gama for just over €7million ($7.7m). In the 2023 season, the winger managed to score four goals and provide three assists in all competitions, numbers that, although they were among the highest in the squad, failed to help the team qualify for the playoffs.

In the United States, there was talk of a possible USMNT call-up, but close sources say that for the moment that possibility is not in the player’s hands. The winger is currently valued at €10million ($11m) by Transfermarkt, and a move to Europe could be on the cards over the coming weeks.

Galaxy scouring Brazilian market

While some MLS teams are keeping an eye on what might happen in the window in terms of departures, others are starting to strengthen their rosters. According to reports from Brazil, LA Galaxy have closed a deal for Gabriel Pec for around €10million ($11m). The Galaxy are starting to strengthen with young talents after losing key players Chicharito Hernández and Douglas Costa at the end of the year.
