that up-and-coming 16-year-old American central midfielder Adri Mehmeti could get a significant opportunity to cement playing time with the first team following the trade of Daniel Edelman. New York completed a deal to send Edelman, the 22-year-old holding midfielder, to St. Louis City for $700,000 in general allocation money on Tuesday. It continues the revamping of Red Bull's roster under new head of sport Julian de Guzman and head coach Michael Bradley, who are instituting a more aggressive and offensive-minded 4-3-3 formation.
Red Bull New York and veteran center back Robert Voloder are in talks, and a deal is considered to be very close to being completed, sources tell amNewYork. The 24-year-old German has spent the last four seasons with Sporting Kansas City, making 78 appearances during that spell. A product of German Bundesliga side Koln's academy, he spent two seasons with Maribor in Slovenia before making the jump to the United States.
