Reinforcements Arrive: Chicago Fire Bolster their Defense

from Feed the Fire: A Chicago Fire Podcast · host Bleav + Glass House Soccer

Hey, soccer fans! Does anyone at the Chicago Fire take a day off? The club recently announced two new signings, both defenders that are sure to bolster the backline for the 2025 season. First, the Men in Red have signed Sam Rogers, a player that Gregg Berhalter gave a USMNT appearance in 2023. He has proven himself a solid player in Norway and USL, and hopefully his game will translate to Major League Soccer. The Fire also signed Portuguese youth international Leonardo Barroso. Barroso has a wealth of youth experience playing for Portugal and Sporting CP B, and will be part of the next generation of great Fire defenders - or the next great Fire transfer. In the second half, Nick looks at how these signings allowed Wyatt Ombserg to sign with the New England Revolution. We also discuss the financial issues that put the Philadelphia Union on the FIFA transfer ban list. Tune in for all this and more! Tune in and join the conversation!
