The New York Red Bulls transferred midfielder Cristian Casseres Jr. to Ligue 1 side Toulouse FC on Friday.

The 23-year-old Venezuelan tallied 14 goals and 19 assists in 116 MLS matches (100 starts) since joining the Red Bulls in 2018.

“We want to thank Cristian for his commitment to the club for the last six seasons,” Red Bulls head of sport Jochen Schneider said. “Cristian always represented the club in a great manner, both on and off the field and we wish him and his family the best in the next step of his career.”

Casseres had one goal and two assists in 17 matches (16 starts) so far this season.

“It’s been incredible to watch Cristian’s rise over the last six years from New York Red Bulls II to the first team, and to see him live out his dream of playing for the Venezuelan national team,” sporting director Denis Hamlett said. “Cristian has been a role model for many of our players especially in the way he has become a leader for this club and we are excited for him to have this opportunity.”

Prior to joining New York, Casseres played for Deportivo La Guaira in the Venezuelan First Division.
