After establishing himself in Argentina, he moved to Europe, spending time with FC Moscow and Atalanta before finding a true home in MLS with New York City FC in 2017. In New York, Moralez became the engine of the team, setting club records for assists and playing a pivotal role in their historic MLS Cup victory in 2021. His honors include that MLS Cup title, along with individual accolades like being named to the MLS Best XI. Known affectionately as "The Little Genius," Moralez's style is one of intricate passing, dead-ball expertise, and an uncanny ability to dictate the tempo of a game from the number ten position, proving that stature is no barrier to having an outsized impact on the pitch.
