Reporting for Metro (no relation), the RBNY beat's resident scoop-whisperer, Kristian Dyer, has coaxed an anonymous source into revealing that Bradley Wright-Phillips and the New York Red Bulls are in talks about a contract extension for the player.
It was Dyer who broke the news last year that BWP's 2016 scoring spree (he won the MLS Golden Boot for the second time in his career and became the only player in league history to have two 20-goal seasons) had triggered an automatic contract extension. More recently, it was revealed Wright-Phillips had secured permanent residency in the US, making him a domestic player for MLS purposes and meaning he no longer occupies one of the limited spots for international players on the RBNY roster.
