The 2025 MLS season is about to begin in February, and teams are making significant efforts to strengthen their squads.
One of the most active teams in this transfer window is Portland Timbers, which has secured interesting signings, including that of Joao Ortiz, a promising reinforcement to strengthen its team.
But not only the Timbers are making important moves, but Charlotte FC is also looking for players who fit their sporting idea for this season.
The moment with Chicago Fire has also given us something to talk about, regarding the great rumor of their interest in Neymar Jr and how they have activated the conversations for this player, in addition to their interest in another great player of European football.
Chicago Fire Negotiating for Jonathan Bamba to Strengthen Attack
Chicago Fire are also looking for reinforcements and are currently negotiating with Celta de Vigo for attacker Jonathan Bamba, to break the 2025 market.
This 28-year-old footballer, originally from the Ivory Coast, has had a notable career in Europe, especially in France with LOSC Lille, where he shone before making the jump to the Spanish League with Celta de Vigo.
Recently, Bamba has shown his ability in important matches, even scoring a goal against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
Jonathan Bamba a difference-maker who wants the MLS
He has reportedly rejected offers from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, showing a clear interest in joining the MLS, which would be a big coup for Chicago Fire.
His arrival could bring a much-needed offensive dynamic, helping the team compete at a higher level, as he has generated in his year-on-year statistics as shown by Transfermark.
If the transfer goes through, Bamba could be a key piece for Chicago Fire, looking to establish themselves as one of the most competitive teams in MLS in 2025.
With his European experience and offensive talent, he could make a difference in the team’s attack.
