Could New York City FC be after another defender?
According to WFAN’s Glenn Crooks, Bulgarian center back Ivan Ivanov is currently on trial with NYCFC. Ivanov, who will turn 28 later this month, was released by Swiss club FC Basel in December after not playing for the first team since January 2014 due to a knee injury.
The 6-foot-1 defender has 40 career caps for the Bulgarian national team.
New York City FC already have nine defenders on the roster, four of whom – Ethan White, Ronald Matarrita, Diego Martinez and Frederic Brillant – have been brought in this offseason.
