According to multiple German media reports, defender Tim Sebastian is on the verge of making the switch from Red Bull Leipzig to New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer.
The German defender has been with Leipzig since 2010, and was an anchor in central defense as the club saw promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. Although nothing has been made official from either side, the 31 year-old’s arrival could be crucial for Red Bulls’ New York club.
Red Bull owns both the teams, making them “sister clubs,” but this would be the first instance in which the teams have been involved in transfer negotiations together.
