Delaware resident Mark McKenzie is reportedly returning to the Philadelphia Union, where he launched a pro soccer career that led him to the 2026 World Cup.
The 27-year-old center back will remain with Toulouse in France's Ligue 1 until the January transfer window before rejoining the Union at an estimated $2.5 million fee, The Athletic reported.
That will position McKenzie to appear for the Union when Major League Soccer's inaugural summer-to-spring 2026-27 schedule begins.
McKenzie had made 30 appearances for the U.S. senior men's national team, including starting and playing its entire 2026 World Cup game against Turkiye.
The Bear resident is a Union homegrown player, coming up through its academy system starting at age 13. He attended Newark Charter School until 11th grade before transferring to the Union's YSC Academy in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
