HARRISON, N.J. — The Red Bulls traditionally live by the ripple, not the big splash. So when the team introduced its biggest midseason signing Tuesday, the striker in question was a little-known Israeli, Omer Damari, and not any of the larger names bandied about recently.
Damari is on loan for the next four months from a sister club, Red Bull Leipzig of the German Bundesliga, which already had lent him to a third company-owned side, Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.
“He is part of our family of clubs, and understands the way we want to play,” said Ali Curtis, the New York Red Bulls’ general manager.
