"We want to get the right guy, Dunivant said. We'd love to get him today or tomorrow. If that doesn't happen, we'll wait, but we don't want to. Dunivant said the club is looking for players that can replace Martinez's pace and verticality but said NYCFC will not turn away other profiles."
"Whether its within the league or outside the league, we're keeping all our options open at this point. NYCFC CEO Brad Sims also expects to make acquisitions before the close of the window, adding that the club's focus is on improving the team now."
"Historically, we've added more key pieces in the summer window because it's a better time of year to be able to add, Sims said. But our focus is on improving the team now, before the end of this window. My guess is that we would add in this window and in the summer window as well."
New York City FC intends to acquire a striker before the winter transfer window closes on March 26. The club has started the season with four points from two away matches but lacks a recognized striker due to Alonso Martinez's ACL injury, which will sideline him until summer. Nico Fernandez Mercau has been deputizing as the number 9. Sporting director Todd Dunivant confirmed the club has a targeted list of potential signings and is exploring options both within and outside the league. CEO Brad Sims emphasized the focus on improving the team immediately rather than waiting for the summer window, though the club expects to make acquisitions in both transfer periods.
