He wants to play against messi
Predict Maxi’s number. Winner wins a really small drink of your choice.
it says he rescinded his contract with racing. does that make him a free agent? if so then doesnt he technically have more time to sign with nycfc and not be done by tomorrow.
i wonder why he rescinded his contract? was he that unhappy? it really can't be a chance to play against messi is it? LOL.
no idea if he has the legs to be a starter (probably not) but with him in the rotation and a hungry, new #9... i like it. sheer fact that he'll be part of the club to help mentor the young guys will be huge.
01 would be great, but not sure if that's deemed sufficiently different from Barraza's 1.
Guys out of contract are exempt from the transfer window rules so as not to create unnecessary hardship. But I do not know if the exception applies to mutual rescissions. There might be concern it could be a form of manipulation to avoid the rules, but I'm just speculating.
Maybe his family misses living here, he had young kids that spent most of their life in NYC, and maybe they are missing friends. Total speculation but it could be about more than soccer.

I mean it’s good - isn’t the average of our team very young?
I for one think he might still have his house here (maybe they purchased) and might have a better quality of life raising his kids here.
He can have a post soccer life as coach or technical staff here as well.

My prediction is he takes the 10 and Santi changes his number.
This is bizarre, but great news. The team had re-signed Maxi for 2023 before he left so he was expected to be part of the team in the offseason. Hopefully we would also have him for next year, too.
An attacking spear of Talles-Bakrar-Santi with Maxi as the 10 would be pretty fun. Plus that other guy we were reported to be signing -- someone really talented is going to be on the bench. Our attacking depth is going to be pretty deep all of a sudden.
He wasn't getting a lot of playing time. Has played fewer than 700 minutes this season in 26 games. Six starts and almost exclusively cameos off the bench.
Total speculation, but I don't know if Santi would be the one to give up his number and that may cause some problems in the locker room. Then again, they're all South Americans and that clique was strong in the locker room, so maybe it won't be anything at all...
He still needs to be signed officially by tomorrow (Thursday actually). I'm guessing 1 AM ET since that's midnight in Chicago.
Aren't there generally stipulation in apparel agreements that prevent number changes from happening mid-season? Every now and again you hear about an NBA or NFL player wanting to switch numbers that become available, but to do so you need to compensate the kit makers for all pre-made, undelivered jerseys and front the money for refunds on current year jerseys already purchased by fans.
