Having rose to every challenge thrown at him so far, Matt Miazga seems to be anticipating a very different challenge. A challenge not in New York; and not in Major League Soccer itself. The recently confirmed US international has reportedly turned down a new contract offer from New York Red Bulls with a view of trying his luck across the Atlantic Ocean in the Premier League.
Yahoo! are reporting that the Red Bulls entered negotiations with Miazga but were unsuccessful in getting the highly-rated defender to sign on for another few years. Clearly the youngster has his sights set on European glory having fallen short of further MLS glory this year.
