In other notable moves, Matías Rojas, who was previously in negotiations with Inter Miami, has opted to join Argentinian club River Plate as a free agent. FC Dallas has strengthened its defense by trading for United States national team defender Shaq Moore from Nashville SC, signing him to a two-year deal with an option for 2027.

LAFC has also been active in the transfer market, securing forward Jeremy Ebobisse on a three-year contract with a club option for 2028. Meanwhile, the San Jose Earthquakes have agreed to transfer goalkeeper Emmanuel Ochoa to Cruz Azul of Liga MX, further reshaping their squad.

Coaching changes have also taken place, with New York City FC appointing Pascal Jansen as their new head coach, replacing Nick Cushing. The Philadelphia Union has named Bradley Carnell as their new head coach, indicating a fresh direction for the team.

As teams gear up for the season, several preseason matches are scheduled, including a friendly where Inter Miami will face C.D. Olimpia in Honduras on February 8. With no official league matches played yet, the focus remains on these roster changes and the preparations leading into the 2025 MLS season.
