The New York Red Bulls acquired defender Julian Bazan from Colombian top-flight side Deportivo Pereira on Thursday.
Bazan, 20, is under contract through 2027-28 with options for 2028-29 and 2029-30. He will occupy a U22 Initiative roster slot.
“We’re very pleased to add Julian to our club. He’s a player we’ve been tracking closely, and we believe his profile, work rate, and potential fit well with what we’re building,” head of sport Julian de Guzman said. “This is an important step in his development, and we’re excited to support his continued growth within our environment.”
Bazan appeared in 27 matches for Pereira since making his professional debut in August 2024. He has also played 24 times for Colombia’s U-20 squad, helping them finish third at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
