New York Red Bulls admit they're shopping for a new Designated Player.
NYRB are seeking a third DP to go with Thierry Henry and Tim Cahill.
"I can't really use words 'likely' or 'unlikely.' What I can say is we are looking," Red Bulls sporting director Andy Roxburgh said Thursday.
"We have been for months thinking about it, looking. [Red Bulls head of global football] Gerard Houllier is at the World Cup talking to managers, players, etc. and looking there on our behalf. We've been scouting all over the place. That remains an option for us, but that's what it really means: an option."
Roxburgh said Henry's future is playing no part in the Red Bulls' approach to landing a DP this summer.
"It's irrelevant. Titi's situation is not a discussion at the moment," said Roxburgh. "We're allowed to have three DPs. We've got two at the moment. Whether we sign one or don't sign one has got nothing to do with Titi's situation."
