CF Montreal announced Tuesday that midfielder Mathieu Choinière has been transferred to Grasshopper Club Zürich of the Swiss first division.
CF Montreal announced Tuesday that Choinière is joining Switzerland's Grasshopper Club Zurich, ending a months-long saga after the homegrown midfielder reportedly requested a trade in May due to an impasse in contract negotiations.Choinière joined Montreal’s academy in 2011. He made his professional debut in 2018 and played in 119 MLS games for the club.
Internationally, the five-foot-nine, 150-pound Choinière has five caps for Canada. He made his first start for the national team and scored in the shootout of a 4-3 penalty kicks loss to Uruguay in the Copa America third-place game on July 13. "Mathieu aspired to experience the European game, and his departure is another fine example of the sporting project we are building in Montreal. We wish him the very best of success in Switzerland and for the remainder of his career."Midfielder Ismael Kone and defenders Derek Cornelius and Moise Bombito , among others, are also joining new clubs after Canada’s impressive showing at Copa.
The club was active in the transfer market, adding left back Tom Pearce , right back Dawid Bugaj , midfielder Caden Clark and Canadian winger/wingback Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty this summer.
