USMNT Transfer Watch - Movers and Shakers

Fidel Barajas no longer in the plans of Chivas... not sure how he's looked since joining DC United on loan

🚨PÉRDIDA MILLONARIA
Javier Mier le comunicó a Fidel Barajas que ya no entra en planes de Chivas @Chivas a pesar de restarle 4 años de contrato. Chivas pagó 4MDD por el mexicoamericano hace un año. Gabriel Milito no lo contempla @futpicante @ESPNmx pic.twitter.com/GvET25NsaW

I think he’s got on the field once or twice as a sub, but its such a terrible team I would’ve expected he’d play a larger role. Don’t know what it means, the manager seems kind of clueless.

 

Yeah Barajas looked good for competent and successful RSL team before Chivas bought him, seems absurd that DC United who are terrible and have like three decent players couldn't use him more...

 

Musah update

Regarding the Yunus Musah situation, Napoli’s Sporting director is expected to be in Milano on Thursday to resume talks. The deal is not over as the clubs still have to discuss the bonus part of the operation.

I still don’t think Pepi moves but

🚨⚪️⚫️ Excl: Fulham consider approach for PSV striker Ricardo Pepi as potential summer target, he’s on shortlist.

Pepi in the Premier League

 

Not anywhere in the Premier League but Fulhamerica.

That would be sweet.

 

Is he physical enough? Will be interesting. when is De Jong supposed to make his decision or has he already?

 

Does Fulham get first dibs on any American abroad transfering?

 

Fulham seriously in the market for a striker as Jimenez is 34 and has not renewed his contract and is looking to cash in with either MLS or Liga MX after the World Cup.

 

Fulham would be a good choice...........

...............but I also think PSV won't be inclined to sell unless they're blown away.

He's their guy right now with de Jong out of contract.

Pepi has such a great platform set up for him in 2025/2026. He could have a monster year at PSV followed by the World Cup. Then it won't be Fulham after him, but a more lucrative situation.

 

heres hoping that doesnt work out.

 

Why?

 

Per @BILD, Salih Özcan, Sebastien Haller, Youssoufa Moukoko, and Gio Reyna are expected to leave the club this summer

The club would also let go of Julian Brandt, Marcel Sabitzer, and Niklas Süle, but the players wish to stay pic.twitter.com/WKBLSwnl5C

Fulham need to restock with a couple more Americans. I'm worried if Jedi moves, we'll have another gap.

Just looked it up, and it's an impressive line stretching back to the last millenium...

Marcus Hahnemann 1999-2002
Eddie Lewis 2000-02
(gap)
Carlos Bocanegra 2004-08
Brian McBride 2004-08
Kasey Keller 2007-08
Clint Dempsey 2007-12
(gap)
Emerson Hyndman 2014-16
Tim Ream 2015-24
Luca De La Torre 2016-20
Antonee Robinson 2020-present

And that's not even including those who were mostly loaned out (Eddie Johnson) or who never made an appearance (Marlon Fossey, Damian Las).

 

hes def not starting for them, and i dont see as many minutes either. he needs to take a step forward and thats not going to be come in a reserve role (particularly a reserve in a new team with zero trust earned).

Napoli, negative contact with Milan for Musah: agreement missing

 

Pepi is gonna get the keys at PSV this coming season. Stay put.

Tigres has sent an offer of around $10 MILLION for OBED VARGAS.

 

take that shit and run!

 

I’d much rather see Pepi take a crack at Fulham than stay in the Eredivisie.

 

MLS thread? Just being bitter .

 

PSV have given up waiting on De Jong. They're moving forward as if he's not signing. But he still might.

 

Take that 10 million for Vargas and run.
Take it to the same bank that Cincy took the Vazquez money, San Jose took the Cade Cowell money, and RSL took the Fidel Barajas money.

And ask Tigres if they'd like Paul Arriola thrown into the deal.............................

 

And do what with it?

Seattle are valued at $800,000,000.
