It looks like Major League Soccer and Villarreal of Spain's top division (and bound for the group stage of next season's UEFA Champions League) have agreed on terms for the transfer of New York Red Bulls forward Jozy Altidore to the Yellow Submarine:
According to the source, Altidore's representatives are right now in the process of finalizing his personal contract with Villarreal. As reported by Spanish sports daily Marca, Villarreal have plans to loan the 18-year-old Altidore to Recreativo next season.
New York technical director Jeff Agoos refused to give an immediate comment when contacted by Goal.com.
Altidore's $10 million transfer fee is a record for an American player, surpassing the rumored roughly $5 million paid by Fulham for Eddie Johnson. Fulham reportedly paid roughly $4 million for Clint Dempsey.
The Red Bulls are set to host Chivas USA in a nationally-televised MLS contest tomorrow night.
