New York Red Bulls: Assessing the Kaku Situation

After a stint of just one season, left-footed playmaker Kaku could be on his way out of Harrison. Multiple reports have showed that Mexican club Club America have been interested in acquiring Kaku’s services but the New York Red Bulls are asking for $12 million, an asking price Club America reportedly thinks is too high.

However, the rumors surrounding Kaku heading to Mexico are not the only drama that surrounds the circumstances right now.

Kaku’s agent, Gustavo Casasola, reportedly told ESPN Mexico that the Red Bulls were underpaying his client for a player of his quality and that the club hasn’t lived up to promises it made upon signing him, such as paying for travel costs and living costs, according to a report from Kristian Dyer of The Athletic.
