As noted by our friends at Empire of Soccer and elsewhere, New York City's interest in one particular CONCACAF starlet is no secret.
As Adrian Mendoza of CRHoy.com writes, Costa Rica international Rónald Matarrita is looking to make a move from Alajuelense, whose sporting director has stated that the player fancies either New York or Europe.
Alajuelense won three straight Apertura (winter)titles in the Costa Rican Primera División from 2011 to '13, and was eliminated in the semifinals of the past season's CONCACAF Champions League on goal difference by Montreal Impact.
