Background on Gustav Berggren’s Signing
The 27-year-old holding midfielder officially signed with the club on July 23, though an agreement had been in place for weeks before that. Yet there has been little known progress about him actually suiting up with his new team.
Visa Process Update
A source with knowledge of the situation tells amNewYork that there are no holdups in the visa process, and that some approvals simply take longer than others. As of Monday, though, there is no estimated timetable for when the issue will be resolved.
Impact on the Team
That, of course, provides little consolation for the Red Bulls, who watched LAFC officially sign Tottenham Hotspur legend Son Heung-min on Wednesday. He then made his debut for the Western Conference side on Sunday night.
Gustav Berggren’s Career Background
Berggren is with New York on a 3.5-year deal that includes an option for the 2029 season. He was seen as Felipe Carballo’s replacement in the midfield after the Red Bulls returned the Uruguayan back to his parent club, Gremio in Brazil, upon his loan’s expiration on June 30.
The Swede was signed from Poland’s RKS Raków, with whom he spent the last three seasons. 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.
Other Team Developments
While the Red Bulls await his official arrival, they also remain in talks with former German international and Red Bull Leipzig forward Timo Werner. The MLS transfer window closes on Aug. 21.
Conclusion
The wait for Gustav Berggren’s debut continues as the Red Bulls await the resolution of his visa issues. The team’s patience will be tested as they navigate the rest of the season without their new signing. Fans can only hope that the situation will be resolved soon, allowing Berggren to take the field and contribute to the team’s success.
