He won a league title with them in 2022-23 and team MVP honors in 2024. Across 105 appearances, he tallied five goals with seven assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The approval of his visa caps a productive Thursday \u2014 the final day before MLS\u2019s transfer window shuts \u2014 for New York, which earlier acquired veteran goalkeeper and two-time MLS Cup winner John McCarthy from the Los Angeles Galaxy for a 2026 third-round draft pick. He will slot in as Carlos Coronel\u2019s backup after AJ Marcucci went down with a season-ending knee injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Berggren can potentially make his team debut on Sunday down in North Carolina against Charlotte FC.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more on Gustav Berggren and the Red Bulls, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amny.com\/sports\/soccer\/new-york-red-bulls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AMNY.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025.05.10 Czestochowa Pilka nozna, PKO BP Ekstraklasa, sezon 2024\/2025 Rakow Czestochowa \u2013 Jagiellonia Bialystok N\/z Gustav Berggren Foto&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":164798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,94974,6656,405,403,18289,5226,5225,5228,5227,94975,221,62,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-164797","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-gustav-berggren","10":"tag-mls","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-new-york-red-bulls","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-red-bulls","19":"tag-soccer","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115068898067941029","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
