"That includes at least 16 teams from MLS, six from England's second division including Coventry City and Middlesbrough and two German Bundesliga squads, as NewYork learned last month. Amidst that teeming market, NYCFC is undervaluing Haak compared to other interested parties, a source added, which has all but eliminated any hope of the Brooklyn native getting more time in the Big Apple."
"Signing with the organization's academy in 2015, Haak broke into the senior team in 2019 and methodically rose through the ranks toward being one of their most valuable players. He appeared in 35 matches this season, recording one goal. As one of just 10 players in MLS this season to record over 3,000 minutes, he ranked 16th with 1,747 passes completed, and even garnered votes to be included in the 2025 MLS Best XI."
Justin Haak is a Brooklyn native and free agent who is unlikely to return to New York City FC after an agreement failed. He has attracted interest from at least 16 MLS clubs, six English Championship teams including Coventry City and Middlesbrough, and two Bundesliga sides. NYCFC is offering a lower valuation than other suitors. Haak joined NYCFC's academy in 2015, debuted for the senior team in 2019, and appeared in 35 matches this season with one goal. He logged over 3,000 minutes, completed 1,747 passes, and received votes for the 2025 MLS Best XI. Haak offers defensive solidity and versatility as a holding midfielder, increasing his appeal for clubs and potential U.S. national team consideration ahead of 2026.
