David Lee, sporting director for New York City FC and architect of the squad that won the 2021 MLS Cup, revealed in a Q&A with Sam Stejskal in the Athletic that City is fielding offers for star striker Taty Castellanos.
In the interview, Stejskal asked Lee point-blank if there are any offers currently being made. Lee confirmed that there are.
Lee also said that it should come as no surprise that there is interest in Castellanos. Most NYCFC supporters likely understand, and are steeling themselves for his departure: The 23-year-old Argentine striker and Golden Boot winner is entering the prime of his playing career, and if there’s a time to make the move to a European club it is now.
