As New York City FC fans still await the arrival of Thiago Andrade, a new report from Territorio MLS has surfaced connecting NYCFC to a move for Vasco da Gama winger Talles Magno. According to Globo, City is “close” to obtaining the young winger and is willing to spend a transfer fee that totals $12 million if certain performance accolades are met. It is unknown if NYCFC will sign Magno to a Young Designated Player contract, though he will require an international roster spot.
Magno — who is at the tender age of 18 — has been a hot commodity for Brazilian Serie A side Vasco da Gama since his first-team debut in 2019.
