Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn ImagesFor the second straight year, New York Red Bulls head of sport Jochen Schneider admitted that defender John Tolkin ’s transfer to a European club is simply a matter of time.
“I know you will play in Europe. When the day will come, I do not know. It has to be the right club, it has to be the right proposal, it has to be a fit for every party. But it’s clear that you will one day go to Europe. If it will be in January, if it will be on July 25, if it will be after he played the World Cup for the US Men’s National Team, I don’t know. But the time will come.
He is a versatile talent who can be an extra attacking threat down the wing, whether it be with his distribution or his set-piece-taking ability. He has already caught the attention of the United States national soccer program, as he represented the men’s national team at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
“As much as I’m fully focused here, that is what I want to do. I want to go play over there and challenge myself,” Tolkin toldback in February. “If I retired tomorrow, I’d be upset with myself that I didn’t get the chance to play there. It’s a little disappointing, but I think everything happens for a reason.”Pantorno is the executive sports editor of amNewYork — a position he has held since January 2020.
