We are in a time of renewal for New York City FC. Many players have left the Blues. As we have already said, it will be a very busy offseason for the club. Not only do those players who have left City need to be replaced, but they also need to start thinking about the future.

Among the players who will soon leave New York is Maxi Moralez. The Argentine talent is 34 years old and is close to the end of his career. New York City FC must start looking for a worthy replacement.

It's not easy to find a player with the characteristics of Maxi. Moralez has the assist record with New York, he is an unpredictable player who creates numerical superiority and gives greater dynamism to the game of the Blues.

In the last few days the news has come out that Juan Mata has decided to leave Manchester United. The Spanish striker could be a concrete idea for New York. Mata is younger than Maxi Moralez at 32. He can still play at a good level for at least 3-4 seasons. They are very similar in characteristics, even if Mata prefers to play in a more advanced position and, if necessary, can also play from the side.

The Spanish striker is very much liked in Italy, but it is not excluded that he may decide to join the MLS where he could end his career. For New York City FC it could be a good opportunity to take advantage of the transition period that will bring Maxi Moralez to greet the Pigeons.
