The new year started on a high note for New York City FC: The club and Argentine playmaker Maxi Moralez agreed to terms on a contract extension for 2022 with an option for 2023.
The news was announced with a video in which Moralez expressed his gratitude to the front office and coaching staff for allowing him to remain in the Big Apple.
The NYCFC’s front office deserves credit for restructuring Moralez’s contract. While the details haven't been made public, the new deal will see the 34-year-old Moralez give up his Designated Player status.
