Defender Rafael Marquez is now set to follow Barcelona teammate Thierry Henry, and make his way to the ‘Big Apple’ on a four-year deal that looks to go public next week.
Prior to 2010 World Cup tournament play with his Mexico squad, Marquez made it known that he had his eye on MLS action.
Following a successful tournament in South Africa, Marquez has negotiated a release with Barcelona. His contract had been set to run up until 2012, but has now opted to go to New York on a more lucrative deal.
“Marquez has signed for a four-year contract with the New York Red Bulls and will join up with Thierry Henry,” a Goal.com source said.
“Marquez has gained his contract release from Barcelona and will get a salary of £2 million per season. The official announcement of the deal will be next week.”
Putting Thierry Henry, Juan Pablo Angel, and now Rafa Marquez on the same squad just put the Red Bulls at the top of the power rankings in our book. They currently are sitting in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference standings behind Columbus, without the help of Henry and Marquez. Bringing over two Barca boys is only going to sell more tickets and make their squad a whole lot more solid top to bottom.
