With the start of the MLS just around the corner, teams are putting the finishing touches to ensure they have the best players, whether from the local league or from the world.

Chicago Fire has done the same with the incorporation of a solid central defender, while San Jose Earthquakes has confirmed the arrival of a Venezuelan forward to reinforce its attack.

In addition to major failures in the market, such as the confirmation that Austin FC will retain a key player after rejecting an offer from Argentina.

The MLS continues to be a hot topic and teams are at the right time to sign star players and strengthen their position in this preseason.

Nashville SC’s new acquisition, Jeisson Palacios

Jason Palacios, a Colombian central defender, arrives at Nashville SC from América de Cali, one of the most prestigious clubs in Colombia.

Palacios, known for his imposing physique and defensive ability, arrives at MLS at one of the best moments of his career, ready to leave his mark on American soccer.

The signing of Palacios is strategic for Nashville SC, which is looking to strengthen its defensive line and improve its performance after a weak 2024 season.

With Palacios in the back line, Nashville hopes not only to improve its defensive performance but also to aspire to a spot in the MLS playoffs.

Jeisson Palacios’ potential to help Nashville in 2025

His arrival is perceived as an important boost for the team, which wants to redeem itself in front of its fans and compete at the highest level in the 2025 season.

During his time at América de Cali and various teams in Colombia, as shown by Transfermarkt, Palacios showed outstanding performances, consolidating himself as one of the best defenders in the Colombian league.

His statistics reflect his ability to lead the defense and provide security in the background, in addition to his sporting experience, which is already 30 years of age.

Now at Nashville SC, Palacios is on a mission to replicate his success in MLS, hoping to lead the team to new heights and, eventually, a historic championship.
