Houston Dynamo wins the race for Jack McGlynn

One of the most striking movements in recent hours has been the transfer of Jack McGlynn, a young promise of the Philadelphia Union, who will ultimately not join either Italian clubs or Championship teams in England, but will continue his career in MLS with Houston Dynamo.

Despite interest from several European clubs, the Houston Dynamo offer ended up outweighing the others, thus securing the arrival of the talented 21-year-old midfielder.

Although official confirmation is still pending, everything indicates that McGlynn will be presented in the coming days as a new Dynamo player, a team that seeks to build a solid project for the 2025 season.

The American midfielder has been one of the most promising young figures in MLS in recent years, standing out for his vision of the game, precision in passing and ability to occupy spaces in the midfield.


A key reinforcement for the future of Houston Dynamo

The 2024 season was a test of McGlynn’s potential, as he played 39 games with Philadelphia Union, scoring 4 goals and providing 8 assists, as indicated by Transfermark.

His ability to create play and assist his teammates makes him a strategic addition for the Houston Dynamo, who hope to see him become the leader of the midfield in 2025.

With this signing, the Houston Dynamo not only gain a player with great potential, but also strengthen their roster with a midfielder who could become one of the stars of American soccer in the future.
