In June 2021, the New York Red Bulls sold young sensation Caden Clark to RB Leipzig of the German Bundesliga for what was likely a multi-million dollar transfer fee. As of this morning New York has indirectly spent $675,000 of that money to replace Clark with…Caden Clark.
On Wednesday it was announced that the United States youth international midfielder would be re-joining the club on a new loan from Leipzig after the expiration of the previous loan he was technically on for the second half of the 2021 season. The move required New York to drop their latest stack of reportedly flush GAM money this offseason, sending allocation dollars first to Toronto ($575k) to gain the second spot and then to FC Cincinnati ($100k) to obtain first spot on the MLS allocation list, given that Clark is now technically an ex-MLS player returning to the league from a significant transfer.
