MLS is experiencing an exciting time as teams take advantage of the preseason and transfer window to strengthen their rosters.
The 2025 MLS will begin with high expectations in February, where teams know that this year will be one of the most competitive seasons in the league.
Clubs such as San Diego FC, Chicago Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps FC have already generated headlines with notable additions, but the focus is now on Sporting Kansas City, which is looking to close important deals to raise its competitive level in 2025.
Reinforcements from Greece for Sporting Kansas City: Manu García and Shapi Suleymanov
Sporting Kansas City is very close to finalizing the arrival of two players from Aris Thessaloniki, a club from the first division of Greece.
The players in question are the Spanish Manu Garcia and the Russian Shapi Suleymanov, who could join the MLS team for a figure close to 5 million dollars, consolidating themselves as a strategic bet for the club.
Manu Garcia, 27 years old, is an attacking midfielder who has stood out in the current season with Aris Salonika.
According to Transfermarkt, the Spaniard has played 21 games, scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in more than 1,600 minutes played. With experience in Europe, his arrival promises to bring creativity and vision to the Kansas City midfield.
Shapi Suleymanov, 25 years old, is a right winger who has also had an important role in the Greek club.
In the current season, he has played 14 games, scored 1 goal and registered 1 assist, accumulating more than 800 minutes on the field. His speed and ability to overflow will be key for the team’s attack.
A strategic investment for success
With a significant investment, Sporting Kansas City follows in the footsteps of other clubs such as Austin FC, which has spent more than 20 million dollars in this transfer window.
The addition of García and Suleymanov reinforces the team’s ambition to compete at the highest level and position itself as one of the strong contenders in MLS 2025.
These signings reflect the growing quality of the league and Kansas City’s effort to attract European talent that can make a difference on the field.
With these reinforcements, the team seeks to establish itself as a competitive rival and fight in a season that promises great emotions.
