Report: Villareal Could Buy Altidore and Loan Him to Huelva
SBI mentioned this rumour/report- it's clear Altidore will go soon. Villareal via Huelva sounds like a good way for him to develop. I think lower Spanish league is the best route for Jozy's progress- your thoughts on what could be one of MLS' best and brightest home grown talents?
Quote:
Is the scenario likely? It is possible, but far from done. What does appear certain at this point is that Altidore will be sold this summer and Villarreal has the interest and the cash to make it happen. Red Bulls sources stated last week that parent company officials from Red Bull were still weighing whether to sell Altidore and for how much, but that his desire to leave and the club's desire to have a quick resolution to his status would make a deal likely to be completed before the July 1 opening of the European transfer window.
In other words, Altidore's last day as a Red Bulls player is coming soon.
