Omar Gonzalez joins Chicago Fire FC, enhancing their defense as teams prepare for the upcoming MLS season.

Chicago Fire FC has made a significant move by signing veteran defender Omar Gonzalez, who will be with the club through 2025, with an option for 2026. At 36 years old, Gonzalez brings a wealth of experience to the Fire, having played 291 MLS regular-season games, netting 17 goals and providing 12 assists. His accolades include being a four-time MLS Best XI honoree and the 2011 MLS Defender of the Year. Gonzalez`s impressive resume also features three MLS Cups, two Supporters` Shields, and the 2009 MLS Rookie of the Year award, showcasing his impact in the league with teams like FC Dallas, LA Galaxy, New England Revolution, and Toronto FC.

CF Montreal`s president, Gabriel Gervais, expressed confidence in his squad despite the offseason departures of key players. The club has been proactive in the transfer market, highlighted by the sale of star midfielder Sebastián Driussi to River Plate and the acquisition of defensive midfielder Nicolás Dubersarsky from Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba.

As the MLS season approaches, teams are gearing up with various preseason activities. Las Vegas Lights FC, while not an MLS team, is preparing for friendlies against MLS competition, including matchups against Real Salt Lake, Sporting Kansas City, and Chicago Fire FC. The anticipation for the upcoming season is building as teams finalize their rosters and strategies.
