USMNT Transfer Notebook: Keeping Up with American Player Movements
As the countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins, all eyes are on the U.S. men’s national team and their preparations for the tournament. With U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino at the helm, the focus is on ensuring that the players are in top form both internationally and at their respective clubs.
Pivotal Summer for USMNT Players
This summer is crucial for players who are looking to secure playing time or attract interest in the transfer market. Two standout performers for the USMNT, Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic, have had impressive seasons in Italy. McKennie, a key player for Juventus, is in talks for a contract extension as the club looks to secure his services long-term. On the other hand, AC Milan is eager to retain Pulisic, who emerged as their top scorer in Serie A.
Meanwhile, in Belgium, young talent Griffin Yow is making waves with his performances for Westerlo. After catching the eye at the 2024 Paris Olympics with the U23s, the winger is now attracting interest from clubs across Europe. Westerlo is keen to extend his stay and continue his development.
Looking Towards the Future
One to watch for the future is 15-year-old Cavan Sullivan, who has aspirations of making it to the 2026 World Cup squad. While it may seem like a long shot at this stage of his career, Sullivan is set to gain valuable experience by training with Manchester City this summer. This opportunity could open doors for the talented youngster and set him on a path towards achieving his goals.
