Toulouse FC president Olivier Cloarec confirmed that defender Mark McKenzie is expected to leave the club during the January transfer window. The 27-year-old USMNT international joined the French side in 2024 and has maintained a role as a key player despite the impending move. Cloarec stated that the transfer process is already underway and scheduled for completion early next year. Reports have linked the center-back to a potential return to the Philadelphia Union, his former club in the USA. Sporting director Viktor Bezhani indicated that Toulouse will prioritize the recruitment of a replacement defender once the departure is finalized. The club has experienced several defensive departures recently, including the exits of Charlie Cresswell and Djibril Sidibé.
