FC Dallas Extends Bernard Kamungo`s Contract

FC Dallas has secured midfielder Bernard Kamungo with a three-year contract extension, including options for 2027 and 2028. This move comes after Kamungo, who became a U.S. citizen in May 2022, demonstrated his value on the field without occupying an international roster spot. In the 2024 season, he made a significant impact by appearing in 29 matches, starting 13, and logging a career-high 1,318 minutes. His contributions extended beyond the regular season, as he also participated in the Leagues Cup and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

At just 23 years old, Kamungo has already made a name for himself in Major League Soccer, being ranked No. 19 on the 2023 22 Under 22 list. He made 16 appearances in the MLS regular season for FC Dallas and earned his debut with the U.S. senior national team on January 20, 2024. Additionally, he was part of the U.S. U-23 pre-Olympic team in 2023, showcasing his potential for future contributions at the national level.

In other league news, the New England Revolution traded forward Giacomo Vrioni to CF Montréal for $50,000 in General Allocation Money for 2025. The Revolution retained a portion of Vrioni's salary and a percentage of any future sale, freeing up a Designated Player slot on their roster. Over three seasons with the Revolution, Vrioni scored 16 goals and provided three assists in 67 MLS games, including a notable performance last season with nine goals in 31 appearances.

Nashville Soccer Club has announced its 2025 preseason schedule, which includes six matches leading up to the regular season opener against the New England Revolution on February 22. The team will begin training at the Vanderbilt Health Training Center on January 11 before heading to Florida for preseason matches against the U-20 United States Men’s Youth National Team and Charlotte FC.

Several MLS teams are actively engaging in the transfer market. Austin FC is reportedly investing heavily in Brandon Vazquez, while FC Cincinnati has set a record for incoming transfer fees by signing Kevin Denkey from Belgium. The Seattle Sounders are also enhancing their squad, including the addition of Jesús Ferreira. Atlanta United and Chicago Fire FC are expected to make significant roster changes, with Atlanta in search of a striker and Chicago looking to fill various positions. Meanwhile, Orlando City aims to bolster its squad after a strong performance last season, and Inter Miami is exploring options to strengthen their defense.
