Could another Liverpool player be joining Steven Gerrard in Major League Soccer this summer?
Longtime English Premier League defender Kolo Toure was reported on Saturday to have been offered a contract by the New York Red Bulls, with English outlet the Daily Mirror claiming that the Eastern Conference leaders have offered the former Ivory Coast international a two-year deal that would begin this summer.
The 34-year-old Toure has spent the last 13 years in England, playing for Arsenal from 2002-2009 before moving to Manchester City, where he spent four seasons before moving to Liverpool in the summer of 2013. He has 20 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season, with 11 of those coming in the Premier League.
Toure – who played with former Red Bull Thierry Henry for five years at Arsenal – will reportedly be out of contract at the end of the EPL season.
Toure made over 100 appearances for the Ivory Coast national team, playing for Les Elephants in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups and helping the team to the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations title before announcing his international retirement in February.
