CF Montreal transferred veteran Canadian midfielder Mathieu Choiniere to Swiss first-division side Grasshopper Club Zurich on Tuesday.
Choiniere, 25, made his Montreal debut in 2018 and posted 11 goals and 10 assists in 119 MLS matches (89 starts) with the club.
The two-time MLS All-Star had two goals and three assists in 17 starts this season.
“We are very happy for Mathieu, and I would like to congratulate him on his exceptional career with the Club,” said CF Montreal president and CEO Gabriel Gervais. “We have been supporting his development since the age of 12, and he has made remarkable progress thanks to his work ethic and passion for soccer.
“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.”
Choiniere, who joined Montreal’s academy in 2011, helped the club win the Voyageurs Cup in 2019 and 2021 and made the MLS All-Star teams in 2023 and 2024.
