Goalkeeper Matt Freese committed to NYCFC until 2030 after a breakout year that saw him rise from outsider to potential USMNT starter. His Gold Cup heroics, combined with steady MLS form, have positioned him as a candidate for the 2026 World Cup squad. Interest from Germany and the Netherlands fizzled, but Freese cemented his place with 84 saves at a 71.9% rate. After starting every USMNT game during their Gold Cup run, plus September friendlies, the extension ensures his stability ahead of a crucial career stage.
