The 2025 MLS preseason is being lived with great intensity, with teams that have already played competitive matches and continue to strengthen their squads in the transfer market.
Atlanta United has shown great ambition in the Eastern Conference, while Portland Timbers and Philadelphia Union have opted for young talent to strengthen their teams.
The MLS continues with its great transfer window and this seems endless with several rumors that continue to revolve around American soccer.
However, the most notable news in the last few hours involves this team.
FC Dallas focused on being able to sign Benjamin Rollheiser from Benfica
FC Dallas has expressed interest in signing Benjamin Rollheiser, a 24-year-old Argentine winger who currently plays for Benfica in Portugal.
The attacker, who has had few minutes at Benfica, would be open to a change of scenery, and the MLS could be an attractive destination.
FC Dallas has already held initial talks with the player, although an agreement has not yet been reached, he would be a fabulous signing for the MLS.
Rollheiser is a footballer with great offensive ability, who stood out in River Plate and Estudiantes de La Plata in the Argentine league before making the jump to Europe.
However, his time at Benfica has not been what was expected, as he has played 18 games in the current season, accumulating just 300 minutes, with 1 goal and 1 assist, according to data from Transfermarkt.
MLS, an increasingly attractive option
With recent big signings and the league’s projection towards the Club World Cup, the MLS has become an attractive destination for players looking for more prominence.
Rollheiser, whose contract with Benfica runs until June 2029, could be considering an exit due to the lack of opportunities in Portugal.
For now, FC Dallas is keeping a close eye on the situation, and it will be interesting to see if the club can pull off one of the most eye-catching signings on the market.
