Düsseldorf (AP) - Alfredo Morales and second division football team Fortuna Düsseldorf go their separate ways.

The 30-year-old midfielder is moving to New York City FC in Major League Soccer (MLS) with immediate effect, where the season begins on April 17th.

"It has always been my wish to play in the MLS and I am very happy that Fortuna has made this possible for me at such short notice," the native of Berlin with an American passport was quoted in a club announcement on Wednesday.

Morales' contract in Düsseldorf would have expired at the end of the season.

Both sides agreed not to disclose the amount of the transfer fee.

Morales came to Fortuna in July 2018 from FC Ingolstadt on a free transfer.

The 16-time US international played 74 competitive games for Fortuna and scored two goals.
