In an intriguing turn of events, the USMNT “star” was granted permission to travel after opting out of joining the squad for their pre-season tour in Portugal. The player, whose identity has not been revealed, is set to undergo a medical examination in the United States before finalizing the transfer deal.
This development comes amidst speculation about the player’s future with the national team, especially following a season where he saw limited playing time in the latter part of the campaign. Despite only starting one match after February, the 36-year-old veteran showcased his quality by featuring in all three games for the USMNT at the Copa America 2024 tournament, even though the team suffered two defeats in the competition.
The player’s performances at the international level have raised questions about his current form and fitness, with reports suggesting that he may have been hampered by an injury during the Copa America tournament. However, the player’s commitment to the national team remains unquestionable, as he continues to be a key figure for the USMNT.
In the midst of these developments, the search for a new manager for the USMNT continues, with a “high pressing” genius reportedly among the favorites for the position. The shortlist also includes a “rising star” as a potential candidate to replace Gregg Berhalter as the head coach of the national team.
As the transfer saga unfolds and the managerial search progresses, fans and pundits alike will be eagerly awaiting further updates and announcements regarding the future of the USMNT. Stay tuned for more developments in this evolving story.
