Mexican defender Rafael Marquez could be set to follow Thierry Henry by leaving Spanish champions Barcelona for MLS side New York Red Bulls.
Sport reports that Henry's deal with the US outfit is only a matter of days away and he could be joined by Marquez this summer as Red Bulls sporting director Erik Soler hinted that they were working on the possibility of another big name addition to their ranks, fuelling speculation that the 31-year-old was their target.
When asked specifically if the player they were targetting had previously played with the French striker, Soler refused to confirm or deny that was the case.
"I cannot comment on that," he remarked.
