Last week, the Red Bulls agreed in principle to a multi-million dollar deal with San Lorenzo for Gonzalo Veron. On Tuesday, sources within MLS confirmed that the Red Bulls had completed the acquisition of the Argentine attacker.

According to sources, Veron flew to New York on Friday and had his physical Monday. As the Mets showed with Carlos Gomez, physicals aren’t a fait accompli; and Veron has reportedly had a pair of knee operations in the past. But he clearly passed with flying colors, and has officially signed with the Red Bulls.

The club is expected to announce Veron’s signing Wednesday, making him their second Designated Player after Bradley Wright-Phillips. The Red Bulls reportedly paid a $2.2 million transfer fee to get Veron, a speedy attacking player who can play any of their front three positions and would work perfectly in coach Jesse Marsch’s high pressure system.

“I’m very happy. It’s a beautiful challenge,” Veron had told ESPN FC radio. “I was looking into (the Red Bulls), I saw how they play and their style of playing. I expect to be fine and do the same that I did at San Lorenzo.”

Except be the focal point of it, rather than a complimentary piece. After helping his former team to the South American championship, the Red Bulls are hoping Veron can help them hoist their first MLS Cup.

The 25-year-old Veron has been regarded as one of the more promising attacking talents in the Argentine league, one that was drawing interest from the English Premier League. And while San Lorenzo was absolutely loaded at forward, club boss Edgardo Bauza often had Veron deployed at left wing or right wing to get him on the field.

Veron did help San Lorenzo win the Argentine Primera Division in 2013, and it’s first-ever Copa Libertadores crown last year. He appeared in both legs of the Copa Libertadores final against Nacional, and even started in the FIFA Club World Cup final against la Liga powerhouse Real Madrid on Dec. 20.

But now he’s joining the Red Bulls, who play at Montreal on Wednesday and host rival New York City FC on Sunday.
