Rumor: New York Red Bulls interested in Fiorentina's Giuseppe Rossi

Thought the MLS rumor mill would slow down now the transfer window is closed? Think again.

Citing sources close to the player, FutbolMLS.com - the MLS-focused arm of Univision Deportes - reports the New York Red Bulls have inquired about Giuseppe Rossi's willingness to move back to America.

This is an oddly-timed rumor, since the MLS transfer window is closed for this year and Rossi is not a free agent. He has a year left to run on his deal with Fiorentina.

It has long been reported that La Viola is seeking to offload Rossi.
