After a month of speculation, the New York Red Bulls have confirmed they are signing former Bayern Munich, PSG striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting as a designated player for their 2025 roster.

Choupo-Moting, who has been a free agent since his contract at Bayern ended in June 2024, will join the Harrison, NJ-based club on a two-year deal. The Red Bulls have an option for 2027 and the deal is pending receipt of his P-1 visa and ITC.
