Official: Leipzig loan Caden Clark back to MLS
RB Leipzig officially confirmed a renewed loan for American midfielder Caden Clark on Thursday.
What had been rumored for over a month was officially confirmed on Thursday afternoon. USMNT U-20 captain Caden Clark's move to the Bundesliga has been deferred once again. Bundesliga club RB Leipzig announced that they had extended the working contract of the 18-year-old for an additional year, through the end of the 2024/25 season.
The young talent will nevertheless head back to the MLS for another year-long-loan with sister club RB New York. The American professional football league's season kicks off this month and (playoffs inclusive) runs through the end of November 2022. New York Red Bull sporting director Kevin Thelwell declared himself "pleased" to be retaining Clark's services for another year and even hinted that the U.S. club may attempt to extend the deal longer.
Caden Clark wird auch in der Saison 2022 auf Leihbasis für das nordamerikanische @MLS-Team @NewYorkRedBulls spielen. Parallel dazu verlängerte #RBLeipzig den Vertrag des US-Youngster vorzeitig bis 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ ✍️
