NYCFC has signed Slovenian youth talent Mitja Ilenic, an 18-year-old right-back who played for NK Domzale in the Slovenian PrvaLiga in 2022.
Transfer market values Ilenic around $425K USD, it was then announced by @NYCFCSOURCE that the club paid around $1.5M with Polish football scout Pawel Turek tweeting that the deal was finalized.
