Reports out of Peru suggesting youth international Christian Sanchez was transferring from Sporting Cristal to the New York Red Bulls would appear to have been confirmed: the player has indeed turned up on RBNY's roster - or rather, the roster of the RBNY Academy's U17/18 team.

This would suggest Sanchez has not joined the Red Bulls in the conventional sense: he hasn't signed a pro deal.
