Just two days after being released by Barcelona, Rafael Marquez signed with the New York Red Bulls. Today the former captain of the Mexican national team joined Major League Soccer. Not only did he join the Red Bulls, but he also paired up with Thierry Henry, his former Barcelona teammate.

The 31-year old Mexican national league captain scored 11 goals in 94 matches with Mexico. At this year’s world cup Marquez scored against South Africa, and at the 2002 World Cup he was sent off the field after head butting USA’s Cobi Jones.

Marquez played in 242 matches with Barcelona, and scored 13 goals. He helped them to win numerous championships including four Spanish league championships, two Champion League titles, a European Supercup, and a Copa del Rey trophy.

The New York Red Bulls have a star from the Juventus Football Club who is hoping to join the team in a year’s time. Striker David Trezeguet has to ride out his final year remaining on his contract with Juventus before joining MLS.

Previously Trezeguet was linked with a summer exit, but as of now it seems as though he will be staying in Italy for the next season. However, according to his agent Trezeguet is making moves in order to team back up with Thierry Henry, his former France and Monaco teammate once his contract has ended.

Antonio Caliendo, Trezeguet’s agent spoke about his future plans and said, “we have received several offers and the one the player likes most is that of the New York Red Bulls. There he will meet up with (Thierry) Henry.”

Not only is Trezeguet showing interest in coming to the New York Red Bulls, but the Red Bulls are also one of the many teams interested in the Frenchman for when his contract expires. The New York Red Bulls will play their next match in Houston, Texas against the Houston Dynamo on Saturday, July 31, 2010.
