MLS 2025 is about to begin, and teams continue to strengthen themselves to face a season that promises to be highly competitive.
The most attractive matches of the first day have already been confirmed, with teams such as LA Galaxy, the current champion, standing out.
On the other hand, other clubs that have had an outstanding transfer window, such as San Diego FC, CF Montréal and New York Red Bulls.
One of the great stories of this transfers market is the connection between Celta de Vigo and MLS, since the Spanish club has yielded and sold three important players to the American League teams.
Great European team brought 3 key signings to MLS for the 2025 season
3. Luca de la Torre – San Diego FC (loan until December 2025)
The 26-year-old American midfielder, with experience at Fulham, Heracles Almelo and Celta de Vigo, joins San Diego FC on loan.
De la Torre has been a key player for the United States National Team and will bring his quality and experience to the new MLS team, as well as having the great ambition to also compete for the USMNT.
2. Tadeo Allende – Inter Miami (loan until December 2025)
The Argentine winger, who joined Celta de Vigo in the summer of 2023, has had limited participation in LaLiga, playing three games and scoring two goals in just 100 minutes of play, as indicated by Transfermark.
Now, he will have the opportunity to shine in MLS, joining Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, which could boost his growth and consolidation in international football.
1. Jonathan Bamba – Chicago Fire (permanent transfer)
The big move on this list is the purchase of Jonathan Bamba by Chicago Fire, in a historic transfer.
At 28 years old, the Ivorian winger arrives in MLS with an impressive track record, having been:
- Ligue 1 and French Super Cup champion with Lille
- 2024 African Cup of Nations champion with Ivory Coast.
Bamba is a player with great offensive quality and experience in high-level competitions, making him one of the future stars of MLS 2025.
These three signings demonstrate the growing appeal of MLS for players looking for continuity and prominence outside of Europe’s big five leagues.
With the start of the 2025 season just around the corner, the arrival of players of this caliber only reinforces the growth and competitiveness of the American league.
