After a period of uncertainty, Cameroonian international Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has confirmed his move to Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls.
The striker, who departed Bayern Munich at the end of his contract, had been without a club since leaving the German giants.
Despite various links to top clubs, including Saudi Arabian sides and FC Barcelona, Choupo-Moting, 35, struggled to find his next destination.
However, it appears that the forward has now settled on a new challenge in the United States, with the New York Red Bulls confirming his signing.
Choupo-Moting himself took to social media to announce the move, sharing an image of himself in the Red Bulls’ kit on his Facebook page.
The accompanying caption simply read: “That’s good.” This marks the next chapter in a career that has seen him play for several prestigious clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
Known for his versatile attacking play, Choupo-Moting enjoyed a productive spell in Germany, making 122 appearances for Bayern Munich and scoring 38 goals with 13 assists.
His value, according to Transfermarkt, is currently set at 1.80 million euros, a modest sum considering his experience at the highest level of European football.
At Bayern Munich, Choupo-Moting was one of the more reliable players in the squad, contributing to the team’s domestic and international successes.
His performance at the Bundesliga club earned him a significant salary, reportedly around 7 million euros annually during his tenure.
The New York Red Bulls, who are seeking to strengthen their attack, will be hoping that Choupo-Moting can bring his experience and talent to the MLS.
The veteran forward’s move is expected to be a significant addition to the Red Bulls’ squad as they look to challenge for top honours in the league.
Choupo-Moting’s arrival in the US marks an exciting new phase in his career, and fans will be eager to see how he adapts to the challenges of MLS.
His experience in European football could prove invaluable to a Red Bulls team that is aiming for success in the highly competitive league.
As the transfer saga finally reaches its conclusion, Choupo-Moting’s focus now shifts to his new venture in the United States, where he will hope to continue his career and contribute to the Red Bulls’ ambitions in MLS.
