Beach’s proposed move remains unconfirmed, with reports suggesting the 22-year-old could join Troyes after an impressive World Cup campaign. He is already part of the wider City Football Group network through Melbourne City, while Troyes and NYCFC are also connected to the same ownership structure.
That relationship could help facilitate discussions, although there is no indication that a transfer has been completed. Beach’s performances have reportedly increased his profile, and a move to France would represent a significant step into European football.
Sims also addressed speculation about Pulisic, making clear that NYCFC would welcome the opportunity but could not force negotiations with AC Milan.
“We're believers that Christian wants to play in MLS, wants to be back home,” Sims said. For now, that appears to be an expression of interest rather than evidence of an active deal.
The surgeries add a major concern for Australia and NYCFC after the World Cup. The club said O’Neill underwent surgery on his left ankle and Trewin had an operation on his right ankle. Both players are expected to begin rehabilitation with the club’s medical staff, but no return dates have been given.
O’Neill reportedly managed his ankle problem through the tournament, while Trewin’s injury timeline is less clear. Their absences could affect NYCFC’s defensive and midfield options as the club assesses its squad for the remainder of the campaign.
The immediate priority is rehabilitation for O’Neill and Trewin, with updates likely to determine when they can return.
Beach’s situation should become clearer if Troyes formalise their interest, while Pulisic’s future depends largely on whether AC Milan is willing to negotiate. As Sims put it: “If AC Milan doesn't want to give him up, then it's dead in the water.”
