Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez is a strong chance of joining MLS outfit New York Red Bull according to ESPN Deportes.

The Mexican-based sports programme suggests that the Mexico national team captain is a 75% chance of signing with the Red Bulls to join former Barcelona teammate Thierry Henry at Red Bull Arena.
