Fresh off the heels of the signing of five homegrown players, the New York Red Bulls have been linked to another young striker.

According to Fox Deportes, the Red Bulls are looking at 24-year-old Mexican international Alan Pulido, who currently plays for Olympiakos.

The Mexican international’s breakout year came in 2013-14 when he scored 14 goals in 31 appearances for Tigres, along with 10 goals in nine Apetura appearances. That performance earned Pulido a spot on the 2014 World Cup squad for Mexico, where he did not appear in any games. However, his Liga MX performance garnered interest from Europe, and saw him transferred to Levedaikos of the Greek Premier League amidst a legal dispute.

Pulido would not make his Levedaikos debut until March of 2015, and only played six games for them before the club was relegated. Pulido found himself transferred to Olympiakos. However, the legal battle over his Liga MX contract status continues. Just before his transfer to Olympiakos was complete, Chivas Guadalajara claimed to purchase fifty percent of his contract rights during the Liga MX annual draft.

Despite his questionable contract status, the report states that two other MLS Clubs are also interested in Pulido’s services – Orlando City SC, and LA Galaxy, who feature countryman Giovanni Dos Santos.
