Sporting Kansas City acquired defender Justin Reynolds from the Chicago Fire, giving up a third-round pick in the 2028 MLS SuperDraft and up to $100,000 in general allocation money.

Sporting KC also will send the Fire a percentage of the transfer fee should they permanently transfer Reynolds to a team outside of MLS.

“Justin has represented his hometown admirably during his time with the Chicago Fire Academy, second team and first team,” Fire head coach and director of football Gregg Berhalter said in a news release on Tuesday. “We thank him for his contributions to the Club and look forward to seeing him continue to grow and develop as a player and person.”

Reynolds, 21, initially a homegrown player in the Chicago system, signed with the Fire’s first team on Jan. 1, 2023, and spent much of the 2023-24 Swiss Super League season with Chicago’s sister club, FC Lugano.

He made 12 total MLS appearances (two starts) with the Fire over three seasons and scored one goal — a game-winner against Inter Miami CF on Sept. 30, 2025. That goal clinched the first postseason appearance for the Fire since 2017.

He was part of the Fire’s U-19 Academy team that won the inaugural MLS NEXT Championship in 2021.

Deadspin | Rafael Marquez will replace Javier Aguirre as Mexico manager after World Cup  Jun 1, 2017; East Rutherford, NJ, USA; Mexico defender Rafael Marquez (4) passes the ball during the second half of their game against the Republic of Ireland at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images   Rafael Marquez will replace Javier Aguirre as manager of Mexico’s national team after this summer’s World Cup, Mexico Football Federation sporting director Duilio Davino confirmed in an interview with Fox Sports Mexico on Monday.  Marquez, a legendary defender for FC Barcelona as well as the Mexican national team, has served as an assistant coach on Aguirre’s Mexican national team staff since July 2024, when the pair were both hired with a succession plan in place.  “His contract is signed and his staff is nearly 80% set,” Davino said of Marquez. “Andres (Guardado) is an option (to join Rafa’s staff). Off the pitch, Marquez is a (big) personality. On the pitch today, as both an assistant and a coach, Rafa is the way he was as a player. He transforms inside a dressing room.”  Mexico is hosting 13 matches — including all three of the country’s group-stage matches and three knockout round matches — in this summer’s World Cup, which it is co-hosting along with the U.S. and Canada.  Marquez has minimal coaching appearance, previously coaching Alcala’s U15 team and the Barcelona B squad in Spain before joining Mexico’s coaching staff.   However, he’s one of the most accomplished Mexican players in international history, captaining the country in five World Cups (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018) and scoring 17 goals in 147 caps for Mexico from 1997-2018.  He also helped Barcelona win 10 trophies, including a pair of Champions League titles and four La Liga championships, during his time with the club from 2003-2010.  Aguirre’s third stint as Mexico’s manager will come to an end this summer. The Mexico City native previously led the national team from 2001-02 and 2009-10.  Mexico, which is in Group A of the World Cup, will play the opening match of the event on June 11 against South Africa in Mexico City.  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Rafael #Marquez #replace #Javier #Aguirre #Mexico #manager #World #CupJun 1, 2017; East Rutherford, NJ, USA; Mexico defender Rafael Marquez (4) passes the ball during the second half of their game against the Republic of Ireland at MetLife Stadium.
