The presence of Argentine players in Major League Soccer (MLS) has been growing, and Ojeda's arrival could further solidify this trend. His ball-handling ability and remarkable talent make him an exciting prospect for NYCFC fans, who are surely eagerly anticipating how he will integrate into the team's playing style.

Furthermore, the negotiations underscore the growing globalization of soccer, with young South American talents increasingly drawn to the opportunity to play in prestigious leagues outside the continent. MLS, in particular, seems to be becoming an attractive destination for emerging players.
