Name: Hannes Wolf
Position: Winger
Age: 25
Key Stat: One assist across the final 16 games of the season including MLS league play and the MLS Cup Playoffs.

With the transfer of Santi Rodríguez to Botafogo set to be completed and a new head coach taking over, what will Hannes Wolf's role look like for New York City FC in 2025?

Signed on a free transfer in January 2024, the Austrian played 42 times in all competitions for New York City FC last season, making 39 starts. Despite racking up over 3,100 minutes, the fifth-most in the squad, the Austrian's impact in front of goal left a bit to be desired.

With the departure of Santi Rodríguez to Brazilian Série A outfit Botafogo for a rumored $17 million fee growing more imminent by the day, new boss Pascal Jansen will be looking to Wolf to help mitigate some of the lost offensive production that will come from dealing the Uruguayan talisman.
