Transfer season never fully stops, but a World Cup always slows it down. Now that the tournament dust has settled, the rumor mill is churning again for USMNT stars, and Sebastian Berhalter’s reported move to England is leading the way.
Berhalter reportedly closing in on an English club
Midfielder Sebastian Berhalter, son of former USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter, is reportedly closing in on a move to England, according to U.S. transfer reporting. No club has officially confirmed a deal at this stage.
If completed, it would mark another USMNT World Cup performer earning a move to Europe’s top leagues this summer, continuing a pattern seen after previous tournaments.
Could Balogun be next to move?
Folarin Balogun, who scored regularly for Monaco in Ligue 1, is again being mentioned as a potential departure from the French club this summer. No official offer has been confirmed by Monaco or any interested party.
At 24, Balogun remains one of the most closely watched American forwards in Europe, and any concrete transfer news would rank among the biggest USMNT storylines of the window.
Pepi and Pulisic also on the radar
Ricardo Pepi (PSV Eindhoven) and captain Christian Pulisic (AC Milan) continue to be tracked by American outlets, though neither has any confirmed transfer in progress.
With MLS already back underway, expect the USMNT transfer notebook to keep updating as clubs across Europe finalize their summer business.
