Hey, soccer fans! The Chicago Fire front office continues its pursuit of midfield firepower during the summer transfer window. They have targeted Georgian international Anzor Mekvabishvili, currently playing in Romania's top flight. The Men in Red were turned down by his current club, Universitatea Craiova earlier this year, but the club have stuck with their valuation (reportedly a little above $2 million) and the deal looks close to getting done.
The signing seems to fit the Fire's profile for recent midfield targets: Kevin De Bruyne, Patrick Berg, and Leon Goretzka. However, they've settled for Dje D'Avilla and Anton Saletros, whose performances in the midfield leave soemthing to be desired on a team with trophy aspirations.
Tune in to hear Nick's takes on the transfer target, including how the Fire got to this point/what need they're trying to fill, what's the profile of Mekvabishvili, and how will he integrate to the team. If this signing goes the way the Fire want it to, Mekvabishvili will unlock the offense and control matches from his midfield position. If this is a bust, then the Fire will have another decent defensive midfielder taking up an international roster slot.
What do you think about the transfer target? How will Mekvabishvili fare in Major League Soccer?
