<p>The<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mauricio-pochettino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mauricio Pochettino</a></strong> era with the USMNT isn’t even officially underway, but already there is a breath of fresh air. The culture around the team is down to two words: “hard work.” The squad has been running intense drills as the manager has spoken to each player one by one.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brenden-aaronson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brenden Aaronson</a></strong> of Leeds United was one of many players singled out by members of the media as a major underachievers on the team when Gregg Berhalter was fired. Currently with 44 caps and 8 goals, the winger has suffered from a major drop in form during his last two years at both Leeds and Union Berlin. </p>



<p>Now back with Leeds, Aaronson has elevated his game on the left wing and has 2 goals in 9 games for his team, looking to bounce back. That upgrade in level was seen firsthand by Pochettino, who in a press conference last week pointed to Aaronson as one of many players he wants to “test” and “build back up.”</p>



<h2>Brenden Aaronson on Mauricio Pochettino<br></h2>



<p>As the team assembled this week for their two friendlies against Panama and Mexico, Mauricio Pochettino has been working hard with the team, and US Soccer has uploaded videos on social media showcasing the drills the team is running. For Aaronson, he has already seen how things are different under Pochettino’s leadership. </p>

<p>In speaking with TJ Sports USA, Aaronson said, <em>“The last couple of days getting to know him, getting to know the whole staff around him, has been really good. Feel like we’ve already learned a lot; we learned about the style of play we wanna play today at training. I think everyone is ready to learn from him. You can just see the buzz and its excitement, so it’s really good.”</em></p>



<p>Mauricio Pochettino and Brenden Aaronson share a strangely similar story; both were at one time observed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcelo-bielsa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marcelo Bielsa</a>. Bielsa traveled to Murphy when Pochettino was a boy to bring him to Newell’s Old Boys. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/mauricio-pochettino-salary-compared-to-other-national-team-coaches"></div>


<p>In the case of Aaronson, indirectly, it was Bielsa who had approved to the Leeds board to sign the American after watching him play for Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg. By the time Aaronson arrived at Leeds, Bielsa had left the club, but the decision to bring the American occurred long before Jesse Marsch had arrived.</p>

<p>The summer silly season is well on its way with various big-name transfers happening and we have only just started June.

<p>In an age where names like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usmnt-and-chelsea-star-christian-pulisic-speaks-out-on-playing-out-of-position-for-his-club-team-20220127-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Pulisic</a>, Ricardo Pepi, and Weston McKennie are at the forefront of many observers of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usmnt-the-case-for-jordan-pefok-and-christian-ramirez-20220208-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> both at home and abroad, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-the-top-outgoing-transfers-to-date-20200903-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brenden Aaronson</strong></a> is slowly carving out his place among such talent. Aaronson has taken the “slow” road so to speak, beginning his career in MLS before a move to Red Bull Salzburg in 2021.</p>
<p>It has been in Austria where the attacking midfielder has honed his skills, in only 1 and a half seasons, Aaronson has become an invaluable player for Salzburg. This season it has been more of the same for the 21-year-old, more attacking, more speed down the flanks, but a lot more confidence, none more evident than a superb performance against German champions Bayern Munich in the 1-1 draw in leg 1 of the Round of 16 in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/5-top-prospects-to-watch-in-the-20212022-uefa-champions-league-20211103-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League.</a> <strong>Aaronson had an assist in that game and later domestically has scored in back-to-back games. In total in 2021/22 Aaronson has 3 goals in 18 games, recording 5 assists for Salzburg. In 20 games last year he had 5 goals and 5 assists, he will surely surpass thatmark this season.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usmnt-star-brenden-aaronson-could-still-be-a-leeds-united-target-in-the-summer-20220131-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaronson</a>’s play has caught the eye of Leeds United,</strong> who have publicly made bids for the player, but quietly he is being monitored by Italian giants AC Milan who were turned away by his growing price tag but if they want the USMNT player they may have no choice.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Brenden Aaronson was sold from the Philadelphia Union to Red Bull Salzburg for what now seems like a bargain $6.5 million. <strong>Today his transfer value is at $13.5 million but Salzburg has already turned away a $20 million offer from Leeds United, stating he won’t be transferred this season.</strong></p>
<p>Rumors have indicated that the <strong>Austrian side will be willing to sell the American between the ranges of $20-25 million, especially considering the type of clubs that are interested.</strong> Leeds United have pushed the most, and with rumors that Jesse Marsch could replace Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds, it makes a move to the Premier League a no brainer.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>AC Milan on the other hand has quietly kept tabs on Aaronson</strong>, with the $20 million price tag being seen as too much the performance against Bayern Munich and his steady performances in Champions League soccer are making the Serie A giants think twice.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>Brenden Aaronson is known for his quick pace and taking the game to opposing defenders, rushing into the attack from the flanks or middle of the park. Known for his hustle and foot skill, Aaronson does like to drop back and help on defense to quickly get into the attack. <strong>Aaronson has improved his shooting and pace ability since his move to Europe.</strong></p>

<p>Leeds United on paper is a destination <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/canada-vs-usmnt-date-time-and-tv-channel-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-20220127-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMN</a>T players are trying to avoid, a club in the bottom half of the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/premier-league-antonio-conte-set-to-join-the-list-of-seven-best-paid-managers-in-the-league-20210604-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Premier League</a> with virtually no chance of playing in European competition next season. <strong>Yet Leeds still has an X-factor, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-marcelo-bielsa-was-a-phone-call-away-from-joining-an-mls-team-20210512-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marcelo Bielsa</a>.</strong> The Argentine has revolutionized the club in his nearly four years in charge.</p>
<p>Players under Bielsa become better, at Leeds the biggest success cases are Jack Harrison, Patrick Bamford, and Raphinha, where Tite has gone out of his way to praise the work of Marcelo Bielsa, but Bielsa has poured cold water on a possible contract extension at the club for the time begin.</p>

<p>Brenden Aaronson was deemed non-transferable during the winter by Salzburg, who are still alive in the Champions League and looking to wrap up yet another league title, it would be Aaronson’s second at the club. <strong>Leeds United is reportedly willing to spend over $25 million on Brenden Aaronson, but with Red Bull Salzburg still in the Champions League, a move in the winter looks doubtful but, in the summer, could very much still happen according to SkySports.</strong></p>
<p>Brenden Aaronson also has interest from Serie A powerhouse AC Milan, who are said to be keeping an eye on the American midfielder, the only issue is the price tag as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ac-milan-interested-in-usmnt-midfielder-already-in-europe-20211006-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AC Milan</a> is not keen on buying Brenden Aaronson for over $20 million.</strong></p>

<p>It’s that time of year again, no not New Year, but winter <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/manchester-united-transfer-rumors-the-red-devils-are-eyeing-a-national-team-goalkeeper-to-replace-david-de-gea-20211227-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transfer rumors</a>. The winter market is about to open and various players from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> are the subject of silly season talks.</p>

Various reports confirm transfer talk, although some are wishful thinking others are hot as hot can be.</p>
<p><strong>Here is the current status of these four USMNT players chances of moving and based on the reports we have classified them as hot, medium, or cold.</strong></p>
<h2>Ricardo Pepi – Wolfsburg – HOT</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211227_BUS_181388_ricardo_pepi_crop1640635073885.jpg_22069893_cd009404.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Ricardo Pepi (Photo by Brad Smith/ISI Photos/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Steaming hot, <strong>Pepi</strong> has been the subject of various transfer rumors from clubs like Manchester United to AC Milan. Wolfsburg has popped up now and again and kept their cool on the USMNT forward. Now Fabrizio Romano is reporting that talks are well advanced, and that Wolfsburg is the ‘most likely’ destination for Pepi. The Pepi camp have been pushing for a move and Wolfsburg, which has been USMNT friendly in the past, seems like a good fit.</p>
<h2>Weston McKennie – Tottenham Hotspur – Medium</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211227_BUS_181388_weston_mckennie_crop1640635211461.jpg_22069893_f3531d6c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Weston McKennie (Photo by Stefano Guidi/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Here we go again, AS in Spain is reporting that USMNT midfielder <strong>Weston McKennie</strong> is once again on Spurs shortlist. McKennie is having a great year for Juventus and has been the team’s lone bright spot. Juventus will want to cash in on the USMNT who may be the only player at the club currently who has actually increased his value. But a winter move? Juventus will need a lot from McKennie down the stretch to try to get the team to Champions League positions, this smells like a summer move. Juventus is asking for 35 million euros for the box-to-box midfielder.</p>
<h2>Brenden Aaronson – AC Milan (Cold), Leeds United (Cold), RB Leipzig (Hot)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Brenden Aaronson</strong> has a huge future, playing very well in the Champions League for Salzburg and the USMNT. AC Milan is reported to like the American but the asking price for them may be too big. Leeds United are facing relegation and playing under Bielsa might be tempting but really will Bielsa stay past this season? RB Leipzig on the other hand keeps it within the family. Aaronson will most likely move to Germany unless Milan pays the big bucks. The reports indicate that Aaronson will move on this summer, where? That really depends on the checkbook.</p>
<h2>George Bello – Watford – Medium</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211227_BUS_181388_george_bello_crop1640635341242.jpg_22069893_aa7414f6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    George Bello (Photo by Omar Vega/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Telegraph have it that <strong>George Bello </strong>could be Premier League bound, at least for six months, if Watford can avoid the drop. Claudio Ranieri is reportedly looking to add a left back, and Atlanta United have prepared themselves for Bello’s departure with the return from loan of Andrew Gutman. Bello would command a small transfer, but some cash influx for Atlanta United. If the numbers add up this could get done.</p>

5 top prospects to watch in the 2021/2022 UEFA Champions League - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ac-milan-t27122" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AC Milan</strong></a> continues to work hard towards going back to their old dominant ways, Stefano Pioli has put together a side that has some exceptional young players mixed with experienced ones like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/zlatan-ibrahimovic-hits-back-at-lakers-star-lebron-james-after-controversial-take-on-athletes-and-politics-20210913-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zlatan Ibrahimović</a>. The result has been a steady climb back to the top of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Serie A</a> and Champions League soccer.</p>
<p>The Rossoneri currently sit second in Serie A behind Napoli, and in Champions League action, things have not gotten off to the best of starts as they have dropped both games in Group B. <strong>Nonetheless that should not take away from the hard work the current administration has done to make AC Milan a household name once again.</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-ac-milan-still-interested-in-river-plate-argentina-sensation-with-25m-release-clause-20211004-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Youth seems to be the credo</a> and now according to Italian journalist Daniele Longo the club has set their sights on a 20-year-old <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usmnt-5-takeaways-from-the-come-from-behind-win-against-honduras--20210909-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> midfielder. <strong>That midfielder is Brenden Aaronson who is currently at Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.</strong> Here is the low down on AC Milan’s interest in Brenden Aaronson.</p>

<h2>Brenden Aaronson to AC Milan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211006_BUS_176870_brenden_aaronson_of_fc_red_bull_salzburg_1_crop1633525096542.jpg_20222851_2aa92242.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Brenden Aaronson (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Brenden Aaronson burst onto the scene in MLS with the Philadelphia Union, and even then, his talent was abundant, playing a key role in the Supporters Shield winning side of 2020. In his two seasons with the Union, Aaronson played 57 games and scored 7 goals. <strong>In 2020 Brenden Aaronson transferred to Red Bull Salzburg for a $6 million fee</strong> and since then he has dominated the midfield for the top Austrian side.</p>
<p>Aaronson has played in only 29 games but has already showcased his speed and dribbling talents for his team, scoring 6 goals and winning two titles for the club. It has been the young Americans play for national team and Champions League that have peaked the interest of AC Milan.<strong> Aaronson has been clutch for the USMNT in World Cup qualifying as well as in friendlies, Aaronson has 5 goals in only 10 caps.</strong></p>
<p>In the Champions League, Aaronson has shown maturity beyond his years, playing very well on Europe’s biggest stage. With clubs like AC Milan after him and his form with the USMNT it looks doubtful Aaronson will be in Austria very long.</p>

Transfer Rumor: AC Milan interested in USMNT midfielder already in Europe

Transfer Rumor: AC Milan interested in USMNT midfielder already in Europe - Bolavip US

<p>To say that American soccer players are not elite anymore is just plain ignorant. In the last three seasons there has been a huge hike in USMNT players playing in the top leagues in Europe. <strong>From Serie A to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a>, and even in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a> you can find top rated <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> players.</strong></p>
<p>This season a record 12 USMNT players will be a part of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Last season <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/christian-pulisic-profile-salary-net-worth-age-teams-titles-height-weight-20210505-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Christian Pulisic </strong></a>became the second American to win European Soccer’s biggest club prize. Now players like<strong> Gio Reyna, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/transfer-rumor-weston-mckennie-may-leave-juventus-3-premier-league-teams-interested-20210824-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sergino-dest-t169027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sergiño Dest</a> </strong>will want to continue to make history by becoming the third American to do so.</p>
<p>Gregg Berhalter can’t complain, he has some of his most important players playing at the highest level. This season the UEFA Champions League will be exciting to watch as fans will return to the stadiums, now with 12 USMNT players it gets even more interesting.<strong> Here is the list of all 12 USMNT players in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League.</strong></p>
<h2>Brenden Aaronson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_brenden_aaronson_crop1629987606608.jpg_22069893_11d1da60.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Brenden Aaronson (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Brenden Aaronson</strong> will be commanding the midfield for Red Bull Salzburg, in his short time there Aaronson has already established himself as one of the club’s better players. The Austrian team will look to at least get to the next round, but a good group showing could help Aaronson land a transfer to a bigger league.</p>
<h2>Tyler Adams</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_tyler_adams_crop1629987503079.jpg_22069893_d6b2a7bd.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Tyler Adams (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Already a Champions League veteran<strong> Tyler Adams</strong> is back at the big stage with RB Leipzig of Germany. Adams has the skill and the talent to play at this level, the question is can he stay healthy for a whole season.</p>
<h2>John Brooks</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_john_brooks_crop1629987421993.jpg_22069893_f95e029f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    John Brooks (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The USMNT defender gets a crack at Champions League action with Wolfsburg of Germany. <strong>John Brooks</strong> is entering his fifth season with the club and is one of the best defenders of the Bundesliga.</p>
<h2>Sergiño Dest</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_sergixo_dest_crop1629987352495.jpg_22069893_f61bfd6f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Sergiño Dest (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Sergiño Dest</strong> had a lot of growing pains last season at Barcelona, this season is an opportunity to show that he has the talent and the perseverance to maintain a starting spot at Barcelona. Barcelona will be without Messi, and while the club has seen better days, Dest can still shine if he corrects some of the issues that plagued him last season.</p>
<h2>Weston McKennie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_weston_mckennie_crop1629987285780.jpg_22069893_dd0a5d07.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Weston McKennie (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Weston McKennie </strong>was a bright spot for Juventus last season, now in his second season what kind of role will he have? That question will be answered by Massimiliano Allegri. McKennie can play at this level no question, hopefully Allegri will find a spot for the box-to-box midfielder.</p>
<h2>Owen Otasowie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_owen_otasowie_crop1629987196715.jpg_22069893_57bfde46.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Owen Otasowie (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Owen Otasowie</strong> recently signed with Club Brugge of Belgium after playing just 6 games with Wolverhampton Wanderers. At 20, Otasowie seems to have a good future ahead of him, but if he wants to crack the USMNT, getting a starting spot at Brugge and good Champions League outings will be essential.</p>
<h2>Jordan Siebatcheu</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_jordan_siebatcheu_crop1629987108504.jpg_22069893_83c28ea4.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Jordan Siebatcheu (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>After a great season with Young Boys on loan last season and a big goal against Honduras in the Nations League semifinal, <strong>Jordan Siebatcheu</strong> is already off to a fast start this seasonwith 2 goals in 3 games in Switzerland.</p>
<h2>Christian Pulisic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_christian_pulisic_crop1629986449252.jpg_22069893_f94f0a96.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Christian Pulisic (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Last season’s Champions League winner, <strong>Christian Pulisic </strong>wants to continue to show why he is the USMNT poster boy. Pulisic already scored a goal in his first game of the Premier League season and will want to hold down a starting spot for Chelsea this season.</p>
<h2>Gio Reyna</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_gio_reyna_crop1629986991363.jpg_22069893_dd963a85.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Gio Reyna (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Gio Reyna</strong> had an up and down season at Dortmund last year but showed his capacity to win his starting spot back last season, while showing the talents that have him pegged as one of the best young prospects in the world. Reyna will look for this season to be his official coming out party.</p>
<h2>Chris Richards</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_chris_richards_crop1629986820449.jpg_22069893_361cf83f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Chris Richards (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chris Richards</strong> will be in the Bayern Munich squad this season, just how much he will play will depend on many factors, nonetheless it will be a season of invaluable experience.</p>
<h2>Zack Steffen</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210826_BUS_174721_zack_steffen_crop1629986755211.jpg_22069893_ea292185.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Zack Steffen (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Zack Steffen</strong> is Manchester City’s back up goalkeeper, hopefully Guardiola will give Zack some Champions League minutes. Steffen’s chances of playing are slim unless an injury occurs.</p>
