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.
