The 2023 MLS season has come to an end, with Columbus Crew winning the MLS Cup. Giorgio Chiellini, the Italian legend, has announced his retirement from professional football. The CONCACAF has confirmed the pots for the Champions Cup draw, with Columbus Crew in the second pot. The 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup groups have been set, with Mexico drawn into the USWNTโs group A. The Columbus Crew has re-signed defender Steven Moreira through the 2025 season and goalkeeper Evan Bush for the 2024 season. LAFC looks ahead to 2024 after a busy year in 2023, with potential changes in their roster. The 2024 MLS SuperDraft is set to take place in 7 days. Nicolas Lodeiro, a key player for Sounders FC, has announced his departure from the club.
The Columbus Crew put another star above their crest and, as the celebrations continue, officially head into the offseason. Julian Gressel is probably the only regular player they're losing this winter. They can add a DP, too. This team is going nowhere. https://t.co/UMnnFZ3YhS
After falling in MLS Cup, LAFC has a bunch of potential change coming. Carlos Vela is out of contract. So is Kellyn Acosta, Diego Palacios and Maxime Crepeau. Chiellini retired. Short version? LAFC's roster is a constant evolution. Here they go again. https://t.co/CDhqMZjoW5

Columbus Crew signed defender Steven Moreira to a new, long-term contract under team control through 2026. Moreira, 29, was one of the best defenders in MLS under Wilfried Nancy as a wide CB in a back three. Got my vote for Best XI. Big news for the reigning champs. https://t.co/cZjqkQzw3M
