There are more Americans in Europe’s top-five leagues than ever before. As a result, there is more high-profile player movement in the United States men’s national team player pool during the summer transfer window.
Here are the players that have already changed clubs and the ones that are expected to move before the window closes on September 1.
COMPLETED
Brenden Aaronson: Leeds to Union Berlin
Brenden Aaronson is close to joining Bundesliga side Union Berlin on loan, according to The Athletic. Union Berlin finished fourth in the Bundesliga and will play in the Champions League next season.
Aaronson joined Leeds last summer for a transfer fee of $30 million, and while he started his Premier League career on the right foot, his role diminished as Leeds changed managers and started piling up losses. Aaronson tallied two goals and three assists in 36 appearances for Leeds last season.
The USMNT forward is heading to the Serie A side on a 12.4 million euro transfer fee from Ligue 1 club Lille. Weah plays as a winger for the USMNT, but Juventus reportedly see him as a long-term solution wingback. Weah also played wingback for Lille last season.
Weah will join his USMNT teammate Weston McKennie at Juventus, assuming McKennie isn’t transferred himself. The Turin, Italy-based club finished seventh in Serie A after being penalized 10 points for false accounting. Without the deduction, they would have finished third and qualified for the UEFA Champions League.
Ricardo Pepi: Augsburg to PSV
After a successful loan spell at FC Groningen, Pepi was transferred from Ausburg to PSV Eindhoven for a transfer fee of roughly $9.8 million. Ausburg paid FC Dallas $20 million for Pepi in January 2022, which is the highest transfer fee a European club has paid for an American player. Pepi, 20, was not on the USMNT’s 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup roster.
In all competitions last season, Pepi recorded 12 goals and three assists for the last-placed Groningen. Ausburg, meanwhile, finished 15th in the Bundesliga, just a point shy of relegation. PSV finished second in the Eredivisie and will play in the Champions League next season.
LATEST RUMORS
Christian Pulisic: Chelsea to AC Milan or Lyon
AC Milan and Lyon made official offers for Pulisic on Sunday, according to a report from The Athletic. Lyon’s opening bid of $27.2 million is the highest offer Chelsea has received so far, but Pulisic hasn’t agreed to personal terms with the French club like he reportedly has with Milan.
Yunus Musah: Valencia to AC Milan
AC Milan has also reportedly expressed interest in acquiring the 20-year-old midfielder from Valencia, which reportedly turned down transfer bids for Musah last season. However, the Spanish club is now willing to sell Musah for $21.8 million.
Musah has signaled his approval the transfer, bringing the Rossoneri one step nearer to securing the services of the talented American star.
