Key Transfers for USMNT Players Ahead of the World Cup

As the summer transfer window opens, crucial moves could shape the futures of several USMNT players, including Reyna and Turner, who need consistent playing time.

The transfer rumor mill is heating up for American soccer players. Midfielder Johnny Cardoso is linked to a move from Real Betis to Atletico Madrid, and as the 2026 World Cup approaches, players like Gio Reyna and Yunus Musah are especially in need of club moves to secure playing time for the upcoming tournament.

Gio Reyna to Real Betis

With Borussia Dortmund seemingly done with Reyna, shifting to Real Betis could be beneficial. Betis has qualified for the Europa League, and with Isco as a main figure, Reyna could find ample playing time under manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Yunus Musah to Bundesliga

Facing challenges to secure a starting spot at Milan, Musah should seek a club where he can consistently play. His key skills in pressing and dribbling would flourish outside of European competition for now.

Marlon Fossey to Sunderland

Fossey, who is emerging in the USMNT under Pochettino, may need to return to England for more opportunities. A move to Sunderland, a newly promoted club, could deliver him the starting minutes he needs to compete for a World Cup spot.

Matt Turner Needs a Starting Role

Currently struggling for consistent playing time, Matt Turner must find a club that guarantees him the starting goalkeeper role, even if it means returning to MLS. His competition is fierce, and he must act quickly to secure his place before the World Cup.
