USA U20 Agudelo weighing up options

USA U20 international Juan Agudelo is still weighing up his options for the next move in his career.

The 17-year old New York Red Bulls youth academy player will join the senior team on their pre-season camp in La Manga, Spain before deciding whether to sign with the MLS outfit or Colombian club Millionarios.

"I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing with my future, with my soccer career,'' Agudelo told the New York Post via phone from Mexico. "Tomorrow morning I'm going to Spain, for preseason with the Red Bulls. But I haven't signed anything; I just want to see how it is."

Agudelo has recently been on trial in Colombia with Millionarios and said it was a great experience and that he has now narrowed it down to the two clubs.

"It went really well. The coach likes me and he wants me to stay, but I'm still trying the make a decision. It was a lot different experience playing in front of a lot of fans. I didn't even think it was going to play, and the coach put me right in,'' added Agudelo.

"Yeah Red Bull and Millonarios are the main ones, but also some clubs interested in Europe. I'm actually going to make a decision pretty soon, probably when I come back from Spain. I'll be home, and I haven't been home in awhile.''
