Rumors around David Villa and Jesus Medina spells opportunity for NYCFC

Seemingly out of nowhere, the rumor mill as it pertains to New York City FC is buzzing with rumors of two potential departures.

The first — and possibly most notable of the bunch — involve DP, all-time best goalscorer, and first-ever signing David Villa. According to AS.com, NYCFC will not renew Villa’s contract at the end of the season. Villa, 36, is apparently considering retirement after that and will accept a different position within the club’s executive structure.

That isn’t the only news, though.

Another rumor that has gained wings within the last 24 hours is Jesus Medina joining former NYCFC manager Patrick Vieira at OGC Nice.
