MLS continues to gain recognition with teams that strategically strengthen themselves in this transfer window.

New York Red Bulls have already taken a big step with key signings, and now it is the turn of CF Montréal, who are looking to establish themselves as a competitive team in the Eastern Conference.

With the officialization of two new signings, the Canadian team demonstrates their intention to surprise in the 2025 season.

In addition, this season will also be key for the USMNT players, with young talents standing out in Europe and waiting for opportunities under the direction of Mauricio Pochettino.

CF Montréal Gets an Impressive Attacker and a Defender Trained at Toronto FC

Dante Sealy: A Forward in Search of Prominence

The most relevant news in MLS revolves around the reinforcements of CF Montréal, who have added Dante Sealy and Luca Petrasso to their squad.

At 21 years old, Dante Sealy joins from FC Dallas, where he played 17 games last season, scoring one goal in 853 minutes of play, according to Transfermarkt.

However, most of those minutes were earned off the bench. At CF Montréal, the young attacker will have the opportunity to establish himself as a starter, gaining the prominence he was unable to achieve in Dallas.

Luca Petrasso: a new opportunity in MLS

On the other hand, Luca Petrasso, a 24-year-old Canadian left back, joins the team after being released following his time at Orlando City.

Trained at Toronto FC, his signing with CF Montréal not only strengthens the team’s defense, but also adds an element of rivalry with his former club.

Now, Petrasso will have the opportunity to prove his worth in a new environment and establish himself on the team’s left wing.

With these additions, CF Montréal makes it clear that it will not be an easy team to beat in 2025. Its goal is to build a dynamic and competitive squad, capable of fighting for the top spots in the Eastern Conference.
