New York City FC will be without Alonso Martínez for some time due to his ACL injury. As such, the team needs to sign a striker for at least the 2026 season. Another attacking player or two is also needed.

The reason is simple: wingers Julián Fernández and Agustín Ojeda have not lived up to their potential.
