Liverpool goalkeeper Fabian Mrozek, who arrived at Anfield in 2020 under Jurgen Klopp, is waiting on a work permit to secure an MLS move.
The European transfer window may have closed earlier this month, but deals in North America can still be completed.
On that front, Mrozek is now expected to depart Liverpool once he has been granted the required work permit.

The Athletic’s Gregg Evans reported the news on X/Twitter, confirming the shot-stopper is expected to move to MLS side FC Cincinnati before the transfer deadline on March 26, 2026.
It will be an initial loan move, with the option to buy at the end of their season, which runs on a year-to-year basis, unlike the European model.
Fabian Mrozek’s Liverpool career
After getting his start at FC Wroclaw, Mrozek linked up with the Reds’ Academy in 2020.
He was previously a regular feature in the U18 Premier League, keeping nine clean sheets in 31 outings.

The goalkeeper was named on the bench six times for Liverpool in 2023/24 under Klopp, but did not notch an appearance under the German manager. Despite this, the Polish youngster was given a new contract in July 2024.
Mrozek then spent last season on loan at Swedish side Brommapojkarna before joining Forest Green Rovers in the second half of the campaign.
The 20-year-old did not feature in Europe but played 11 times for the non-league side, who finished third in the National League and lost out in the play-offs.

Harvey Elliott nearly moved to MLS
Elsewhere this year, Harvey Elliott was also linked with a move to the MLS amid his loan struggles at Aston Villa.
Elliott can’t play for another European team this season as he has already featured for Liverpool and Unai Emery’s side.
However, a deal was not agreed, and he’s set to spend the remainder of the campaign at Villa Park.
He’s unlikely to feature despite Aston Villa staff liking Elliott, as the Midlands club would have to pay £35m once the Englishman has made 10 appearances, as James Pearce has explained.
Pearce said: “I really feel for Harvey Elliott because you know you speak to people at Villa and they’ve only got positive things to say about him in terms of his attitude and application in training every day,” he said.
“It’s just really unfortunate that for whatever reason Emery doesn’t seem to fancy him, doesn’t want Villa to have to pay the 35 million pounds that’s written into the agreement if he plays 10 or more appearances for Villa this season. So he’s stuck in limbo.”
Elliott did play 13 minutes against Brentford on February 1, but he has since been left out of Emery’s last two league matchday squads.
