The New York Red Bulls are making waves this offseason, showing they’re serious about taking the MLS by storm in 2025. Their latest move? Signing former PSG and Bayern Munich star Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting!
The 35-year-old Cameroonian international brings a wealth of experience to the Red Bulls, having played at the highest levels of the beautiful game. From gracing the World Cup stage to winning the FIFA Club World Cup, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and multiple domestic cups, Choupo-Moting’s resume is nothing short of elite.
If he can recapture the form he showcased during his time at Bayern Munich just a few seasons ago, Choupo-Moting could become a pivotal piece in the Red Bulls’ attack. Pairing him with Emil Forsberg—another dynamic player in the squad—has the potential to create a lethal offensive duo that could terrorize MLS defenses.
A Two-Year Deal with Big Ambitions
Choupo-Moting has inked a two-year contract with the Red Bulls, who are coming off a stellar 2024 season as MLS Cup runners-up. Despite being one of the league’s founding franchises, established in 1994 as the MetroStars, the Red Bulls have yet to claim an MLS Cup title.
But with this offseason’s ambitious moves, 2025 might finally be the year they bring the trophy home to New York. If Sandro Schwarz’s first year at the helm is any indication, Red Bulls fans have every reason to trust the process.
Schwarz has already made a strong impression, and the front office’s offseason strategy reflects a clear vision: combining marquee signings like Choupo-Moting with the development of young talent. This approach signals a departure from the typical offseason blueprint for the Red Bulls.
The Red Bulls have set their sights high, and their roster moves show they’re not just aiming to compete—they want to win it all. With experienced international stars and a promising pipeline of young talent, the team is well-positioned to make a deep run in 2025. Red Bulls supporters, get ready for an exciting journey ahead!
