<p>Both clubs could use a striker and Pepi has shown that maybe Augsburg was not the right place for a player of his talents. Pepi is considered one of the best prospects the USMNT has at striker but was not included on the World Cup roster by Gregg Berhalter in Qatar.</p>
<p><strong>Pepi has admitted in an interview that he simply hung up the phone on Gregg Berhalter when the manager told him the news.</strong> For Gregg Berhalter it has been a bad week of revelations from his scandal with Gio Reyna’s family and now Pepi admitting that he could not be bothered with the manager that gave him his international start.</p>

USMNT’s Ricardo Pepi with interest from several Premier League clubs

USMNT’s Ricardo Pepi with interest from several Premier League clubs - Bolavip US

<p>At 19-years old, <strong>Ricardo Pepi</strong> seemed destined to have his breakthrough perfomance in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/world-cup-2022-simulator" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2022 World Cup</strong></a> in <strong>Qatar</strong>.In 2019, <strong>Pepi</strong> surprised the nation as a rookie with <strong>FC Dallas </strong>and he was sensational for the next three years. His development as a prospect was tremendous and many experts saw him as a potential candidate for the <strong>2022 CONCACAF qualifers</strong> with the US national team. Manager <strong>Gregg Berhalter</strong> took notice and called him to the USMNT in 2021. Pepi was on the rise.</p>
<p>On January 2022, <strong>Augsburg</strong> went all-in and paid the $20 million transfer fee to bring him to Europe. In fact, that operation broke some records. Pepi was the most expensive American player from the MLS acquired by a European club and Augsburg have never spent that much money for a player in their entire history.</p>
<p>Nine months later, Augsburg decided to send Pepi to the <strong>Eredivisie</strong> considering he didn’t score a single goal in Germany. <strong>FC Groningen</strong> got the loan for the 2022-2023 season and the striker lived up to the expectations withfive goals in eight matches. He was having an extraordinary semester and everyone thought he would be on the <strong>United States</strong> roster for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-teams-from-each-continent-that-qualified-for-the-fifa-world-cup-q22-20221104-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Cup</strong></a>.</p>
<h2>Why is Ricardo Pepi missing the Qatar 2022 World Cup?</h2>
<p><strong>Ricardo Pepi</strong> was in the middle of a huge controversy because he could have played for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-how-did-mexico-qualify-for-the-fifa-world-cup-20221106-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico</strong></a> instead of the United States. The player was born in El Paso, Texas, but most of his family is Mexican. In fact, both his parents wanted him to represent Mexico, but Gerardo Martino’s call came too late and Pepi felt he was more appreciated by the USMNT.</p>
<p>Now, the truth is very few people understand why <strong>Gregg Berhalter</strong> left Pepi out of the <strong>2022 World Cup</strong>. According to the US manager, he could only choose two of these three names:Jesus Ferreira, <strong>Josh Sargent</strong> and Ricardo Pepi. In the end, the call went for the first two and Pepi was snubbed. One of Berhalter’s arguments was the Dutch league wasn’t as strong as the EFL Championship (Sargent in Norwich City). Still, thousands of fans don’t comprehend Berhalter’s explanation.</p>
<p>The most incredible thing of this turn of events is that <strong>Pepi </strong>maybe left behind a real chance to play the World Cup with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-what-are-the-odds-of-mexico-winning-the-fifa-world-cup-20221110-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico</strong></a>, because he assumed there was a spot for him in the <strong>USMNT</strong>. Now, he’s out of <strong>Qatar 2022</strong>,the Mexican team is no longer a possibility and Pepi will have to wait four more years to fulfill his childhood dream.</p>

Qatar 2022: Why is Ricardo Pepi not playing for the USMNT in the FIFA World Cup?

Qatar 2022: Why is Ricardo Pepi not playing for the USMNT in the FIFA World Cup? - Bolavip US

<p>Flop <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/greatest-european-players-to-play-in-mls-20211228-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signing</a> could be a bit harsh for these five players, but they disappointed at their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/3-of-top-10-most-expensive-transfers-in-history-dont-start-for-their-clubs-20220422-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">respective clubs</a> after either having been signed via <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-top-10-most-expensive-incoming-transfers-20210211-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">large transfers</a>, gotten a big contract, or via huge loans.</p>
<p>In<strong> LaLiga, <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>, heck even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-15-worst-signings-in-mls-history-20201229-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a></strong>, there are no short of big name, big transfer signings that just don’t work out. The players on this list still have time to make amends, while others will be looking at other destinations come next year.</p>
<p>Here is one player from <strong>Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, and LaLiga </strong>who came in with big aspirations and have paid little dividends. Here are 5 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-grealish-ramos-and-more-the-top-2021-summer-transfer-window-flops-20220424-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disappointing signings</a> in European soccer this season.</p>
<h2>Lionel Messi – Ligue 1</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_20220510_BUS_190517_lionel_messi_crop1652201316876.jpg_22069893_b850b4fb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Lionel Messi (Photo by Aurelien Meunier – PSG/PSG via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Lionel Messi </strong>is by far the best player of all-time to some, certainly the best player of his generation, but all great players get old or make a mistake. Messi’s signing to PSG looked great on paper, but the Argentine has been a fish out of water, providing flashes of brilliance and not much else.</p>
<p>9 goals in 32 matches was woefully under productive for a player useto scoring 20 or more per season, with another season on the horizon Messi has the chance to produce more for PSG.</p>
<h2>Ricardo Pepi – Bundesliga</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_20220510_BUS_190517_ricardo_pepi_crop1652201243303.jpg_22069893_da3ebbd4.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Ricardo Pepi (Photo by Sebastian Widmann/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ricardo Pepi </strong>is a monumental bomb signing for FC Augsburg, purchased at $20 million and beating out the likes of Ajax, Manchester United, and Wolfsburg, Pepi has struck out in the Bundesliga with 0 goals in 11 matches and playing second half sub minutes.</p>
<p>A few clubs at the moment are thanking their lucky stars at the bullet they dodged, and FC Augsburg have to ask themselves with 20 million to spend, why did they go after an unproven young talent?</p>
<h2>Jack Grealish – Premier League</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_20220510_BUS_190517_jack_grealish_crop1652201477844.jpg_22069893_71086ec8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Jack Grealish (Photo by Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>At over $100 million <strong>Jack Grealish</strong> is the most expensive English soccer player ever, given the 10 jersey, Grealish is riding the big wave that is Manchester City, but 2 goals in 24 games and only 3 assists one has to ask, if Christian Pulisic is considered a “flop” signing at Chelsea, then what is Jack Grealish?</p>
<h2>Joaquín Correa – Serie A</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_20220510_BUS_190517_joaquxn_correa_crop1652201582653.jpg_22069893_4aae58b3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Joaquín Correa (Photo by Marco Canoniero/LightRocket via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Inter Milan is thankful that <strong>Joaquín Correa</strong> is only on loan this season after 22 goals in 90 games for Lazio. At Inter, Correa stunk up the forward line with 4 goals in 24 games. Correa is currently at 10 games without a goal for the second-place team.</p>
<h2>Antoine Griezmann – LaLiga</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_20220510_BUS_190517_antoine_griezmann_of_atletico_de_madrid_crop1652201143560.jpg_22069893_1e13a57c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Antoine Griezmann of Atletico de Madrid (Photo by Gonzalo Arroyo Moreno/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Four years ago, <strong>Antoine Griezmann </strong>was the best player at the 2018 World Cup, now a shell of his former self. On loan to Atlético Madrid from Barcelona, Griezmann did little with his move with 3 goals in 23 matches.</p>
<p>Injuries have played a part, but the French World Cup winner is scoreless in 10 matches. Where Griezmann ends up next will be one of the summer’s biggest stories.</p>

Fabrizio Romano, the top widely-regarded Italian journalist, stated last week that the 18-year-old FC Dallas attackerwill most likely end up in Germany’s top division, but he didn’t name a team.</p>
<p>The representativefor the player was reportedly in advanced talks with an unidentified Bundesliga team. Pepi has been in contact with a number of European teams,including Premier League side Wolves of the English, and his rumored dream team, La Liga giants <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/laliga-15-flop-signings-in-the-spanish-league-20211105-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a>,added Romano.</p>
<p>Then it seemed as though Wolfsburg <strong>appearedto be the frontrunner</strong> in the Pepi race, but no official deal had been reached.The competition to sign the American talenthas now beenwon by <strong>another German club.</strong></p>

<h2>Pepi-Augsburg: Just anotherUSMNT player to go to the Bundesliga</h2>
<p>It is the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/german-bundesliga-2021-2022-schedule-20210812-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bundesliga</a> team, <strong>Augsburg</strong>who came out on top in the end and will close the transaction for Pepi soon for a total of €18 million, says the latest report by Fabrizio Romano. The Texas-born striker will now travelto Munich, Germany, with his agent Jaime Garcia to undertake medical testing and finalize his move. Interestingly, this move is responsible for breaking two records.</p>
<p>The first is that it is the <strong>biggest sum paid for a former<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-the-top-outgoing-transfers-to-date-20200903-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> academyplayer</strong>, surpassing Bayern’s purchase of Alphonso Davies in 2018. It’s also the second-largest transfer in the MLS history, after only Miguel Almiron’s move to Newcastle.</p>
<p>Pepi being Augsburg’s <strong>largest ever transfer</strong> is the second record. It will nearly quadruple Augsburg’s 2016 payment to Salzburg for Martin Hinteregger, which was around €10.5 million. Like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/every-usmnt-player-that-plays-in-the-premier-league-for-the-202122-season-20210804-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Pulisic</a>,Giovanni Reyna, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/every-usmnt-player-in-serie-a-for-the-20212022-season-20210806-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a>, and Tyler Adams, Pepi seems to be the latest young American to play in the Bundesliga.</p>

USMNT emerging star Ricardo Pepi rejects Wolfsburg, finalizes move to another Bundesliga club

USMNT emerging star Ricardo Pepi rejects Wolfsburg, finalizes move to another Bundesliga club - Bolavip US

<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>
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ricardo-pepi-profile-age-stats-salary-and-transfer-fee-20211109-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ricardo Pepi</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-juventus-consider-swapping-weston-mckennie-for-60m-target-also-wanted-by-real-madrid-chelsea-20211015-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a>, Brenden Aaronson, and George Bello </strong>are the current batch of players that could be on the move in the winter. 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">
<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_brenden_aaronson_crop1640635283829.jpg_22069893_2b98ad99.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Brenden Aaronson (Photo by Thomas Bachun/DeFodi Images via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<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>

Transfer Rumors: Liverpool and Inter Milan add themselves to the list of possible destinations for promising USMNT forward

Transfer Rumors: Liverpool and Inter Milan add themselves to the list of possible destinations for promising USMNT forward - Bolavip US

<p>After all the drama of the first two draws of qualification the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> are sitting pretty in first place</strong> and looking onwards to their match against Panama on Sunday. Gregg Berhalter’s side got another great performance from two of the USMNT best players <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ricardo-pepi-t188618" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ricardo Pepi </a>and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ac-milan-interested-in-usmnt-midfielder-already-in-europe-20211006-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brenden Aaronson</a>.</p>
<p>Both players have been subject to transfer rumors to AC Milan and each one’s stock is rising considerably when taking into account that <strong>Pepi is a scoring machine and Aaronson has made the USMNT fans not miss <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-isnt-giovanni-reyna-playing-for-the-usmnt-in-concacaf-world-cup-qualifying-20211005-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gio Reyna</a> or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-isnt-christian-pulisic-playing-for-the-usmnt-in-concacaf-world-cup-qualifying-20211005-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Pulisic</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Valencia’s Yunus Musah was a handful for a flat Jamaica side and Tyler Adams was more comfortable leading the team from the middle of the park. Weston McKennie returned to the team after the off-field drama and put in a solid performance. <strong>All in all,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usa-vs-jamaica-predictions-odds-and-how-to-watch-concacaf-world-cup-qualifiers-2022-in-the-us--20211006-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> it was a 2-0 victory</a> that left three things to take away.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>We are all aboard the hype train of Ricardo Pepi,</strong> and how can USMNT fans and reporters not get excited? Another great performance and this time with two goals to boot. Pepi has talent, and against Concacaf opposition is a cut above the rest. The question now becomes, what happens next? Pepi will take his ascension into USMNT stardom until the end of the MLS season. After that a huge transfer is in the works, then the real challenge begins. Can Pepi do what he is doing in a top league where the competition will be hugely better and keep it up with the USMNT? This kid has all the skills we dream of, hold up play, speed, heading, and more importantly scores.</p>
<h2>A win is a win</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_20211008_BUS_176993_weston_mckennie_x8_of_the_united_states_battles_for_control_of_the_the_ball_against_tyreek_magee_x2_crop1633700421041.jpg_20222851_f47730c2.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Weston McKennie #8 of the United States battles for control of the the ball against Tyreek Magee #21 of Jamaica (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Jamaica is by far the worst team in qualification, and that alone made them dangerous, the young USMNT showed no nerves, no sign of needing to adjust, despite some early hiccups in the first half the<strong> USMNT had nearly 70% possession and out shot Jamaica considerably.</strong> Winning builds confidence, builds calmness, and loosens the boys up. When the team takes a look at the standings, going to Panama will be much easier.</p>
<h2>Relying on the boys</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>USMNT fans on Twitter went crazy when they saw that Gianluca Busio was not even on the bench and Paul Arriola was in the starting lineup. <strong>Gyasi Zardes, Sebastian Lletget, Kellyn Acosta, and Walker Zimmerman, the MLS crop, are guys Gregg Berhalter knowns and will rely on.</strong> After winning two international cups and being undefeated in qualification, Gregg Berhalter has earned fans to stop with their meltdowns on Twitter, it pretty clear, like it or not, Gregg Berhalter knows what he’s doing. So cut the man some slack.</p>

<p>While FC Dallas lost 1-0, the Ajax people and Pepi team met to discuss the opportunity for the young American to play for Ajax in the Netherlands.

<p><strong>According to reports from 90min and other sources, Pepi is on the radar of teams from Italy, England, and Germany. </strong>Pepi’s transfer would be record breaking according to reports and would even surpass what<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-the-top-outgoing-transfers-to-date-20200903-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Bayern Munich paid for Alphonso Davies</a>, but it would not be the highest paid transfer fee for a MLS player, that honor still belongs to Paraguayan Miguel Almirón.</p>

<p>According to sources the people who represent Ricardo Pepi would like to see the player transferred to Europe in the next two weeks. The idea would be for Pepi to have a destination in hand after the MLS season ends, where it would seem that FC Dallas will not make the playoffs.</p>
<p>The same sources have indicated that Pepi is wanted by <strong>three clubs from Italy, two from Germany and two from England. </strong>Two of the three Italian clubs, which rumors have indicated could be AC Milan is in this seasons UEFA Champions League.</p>
<p>Pepi has shown great ability to finish either with his foot and head and has very good hold up play. For FC Dallas it would be yet another big-time transfer as the club recently <strong>sold Bryan Reynolds to Roma, Reggie Cannon to Boavista, and is famous for having developed players like Weston McKennie, Chris Richards, and the Funes Mori brothers of Mexico and Argentinafame.</strong></p>
