For the majority of the first half, two teams were testing each other out and it seemed the game could go either way. But in the 44th minute, Weston McKennie found Tyler Adams in the middle, who delivered a powerful shot from outside the penalty box that found its way to the net. This was Adams’ first goal in more than two years and his second in his entire international career.

“I try to put guys in situations like that, but when the ball came to me, and I felt like I had time on the ball, it was a no-brainer. So I’m happy that one went in and I’ll probably start shooting a little bit more now,” Adams, who was substituted at halftime due to minute restrictions, said after the game.

Gio Reina later increased USMNT’s lead to 2-0 with a nifty finish from the top of the penalty box in the 63rd minute.

With the win, USMNT not only retained its Nations League title but also extended its run of unbeaten games against Mexico. The U.S. hasn’t lost to El Tri in the last seven games, which is the longest stretch since the two teams played their first game in 1934.

Reyna previously expressed the intention to leave Borussia Dortmund due to a lack of minutes. Several clubs from Europe had loan offers accepted by Borussia in recent weeks, including Ligue 1 side Marseille and La Liga’s Sevilla. However, Reyna ended up picking Forest as he believes the move gives him the best chance to resurrect his career.

Reyna’s move to Forest is expected to be confirmed later this week after the 21-year-old player undergoes his medical with the English club.

Reyna has had a challenging 2023-24 campaign with Borussia, failing to crack the starting 11 while his opportunities from the bench were also scarce. He played only 11 games in the Bundesliga, receiving just one start and playing a total of 270 minutes. Reyna has yet to register a single club goal this season.

Nottingham Forest is currently sitting at No. 16 in the Premier League standings, and adding a player like Reyna could help them a lot in their attempts to avoid relegation. Forest has 20 points, just two more than Everton, which finds itself in the relegation zone.

Reportedly, Reyna is unhappy with the lack of playing time with Bundesliga’s Borussia Dortmund and is determined leave in January. Borussia also wouldn’t mind seeing him go but would like it to be a permanent transfer.

When asked about Reyna’s situation ahead of the international friendly against Slovakia, Berhalter said that he understands the 21-year-old player’s desire to play more and encouraged him in his search for a change of scenery.

“I think that any professional who is competitive wants to be on the field, and this is a case where Gio hasn’t been getting the game time that he wants and potentially looking for alternate options, and that’s completely understandable,” said Berhalter. “So, we support him and his quest to get on the field regularly and are looking forward to the outcome of that.”

Gio Reyna was featured in nine games this season and made one start in the Bundesliga. What’s even more telling about his status with Borussia is that he spent only 238 minutes on the pitch.

Despite not showing much this season, Reyna doesn’t lack suitors. A number of European clubs are reportedly interested in his services, including Ligue 1’s Marseille and Monaco, La Liga’s Sevilla and Villarreal, and Portugal’s Benfica.

Reportedly, the agreement gives PSV a $12 million option to make the move permanent next summer.

Dest, who was born in the Netherlands, started his professional career with PSV’s rivals Ajax. His impressive performances with Ajax led Barcelona to pay €21 million to get him to Camp Nou in 2020.

While Barca had high hopes for Dest, the player never really settled in Spain. He played 72 games for the Catalan club across two seasons before spending the 2022-23 campaign with Seria A side AC Milan. The 22-year-old player struggled to make an impact in Italy as well, playing only 14 games in all competitions.

A move to PSV will hopefully allow Dest to have a fresh start and resurrect his career. He will not only play in a league he is familiar with but also have several members of the United States men’s national team to help him out.

Before acquiring Dest, PSV also brought in U.S. midfielder Malik Tillman and USMNT striker Ricardo Pepi. This is largely thanks to sporting director Earnie Stewart, who previously served in the same role with the U.S. Soccer Federation.

Adams has been a key player for Leeds last season after joining from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. However, he couldn’t help the club remain in the Premier League and is now looking to make a move in order to play in the top flight in 2023-24.

Reportedly, Adams has a £20 million release clause in his contract, and Leeds couldn’t stop him from leaving if Chelsea activates it. However, there are expectations that the two clubs will try to negotiate a different structure first.

Tyler Adams emerged as one of the most talented young midfielders in soccer in recent years. Besides his stellar plays with Leipzig and Leeds, Adams has also been a cornerstone of the young United States men’s national team. He currently serves as USMNT’s captain, an honor he received ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and has collected 36 international caps.

Chelsea has been working on bringing in new midfielders for quite some time after the new head coach Mauricio Pochettino identified it as an area of need. Besides Adams, the club is also interested in Brighton’s Moises Caicedo but is still reluctant to pay the asking price of £100 million.

Shortly after Leeds was relegated to the English Championship at the end of the 2022-23 campaign, it became clear that Aaronson was interested in leaving in order to continue playing at the top level. Several clubs were interested in his services, but it was Union Berlin that made the most compelling offer.

Aaronson is expected to join the German club on a season-long loan. It is unclear whether the agreement comes with an option to make the move permanent.

Brenden Aaronson joined Leeds last summer in a £23.6 million transfer from FC Salzburg. Reuniting with his former Salzburg manager and fellow American Jesse Marsch, Aaronson emerged as one of the key players for Leeds.

Aaronson played a total of 36 games in the Premier League last season, scoring one goal and dishing three assists.

With Union Berlin, Aaronson will have a chance to play in UEFA Champions League. Union finished fourth in the Bundesliga, which got them an automatic UCL spot.

It is believed that Chelsea wants at least €25 million to part with the American, while Milan wants to lower the price. Pulisic is reportedly excited about the opportunity to restart his career in Italy and is confident the two clubs will end up making the deal.

Pulisic was expected to leave Chelsea all along this summer after several underwhelming seasons with the London club that were marred with injuries. Juventus initially showed interest in bringing the 24-year-old to Italy but were stalling with making the final bid, which allowed Milan to swoop in.

Moving to Milan could help Pulisic to bounce back and find his form again. He should have more playing time as there will be a lot less competition up front compared to his time in the London club.

Christian Pulisic arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2019 in a £58 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund. Since then, he has played 145 games with the club in all competitions, scoring 26 goals and adding 21 assists. Pulisic was part of the Chelsea team that won the UEFA Champions League in 2020–21.

The USMNT entered the match lacking several key players, including right-back Sergino Dest and midfielder Weston McKennie, who was suspended for receiving red cards in the semifinal match against Mexico. However, Joe Scally and Brenden Aaronson stepped in for the duo and did a great job.

After a testy first 10 minutes of the game, USMNT broke the deadlock in the 12th minute. Gio Reyna made a superb corner cross, and Chris Richards headed the ball behind Canada’s goalie Milan Borjan. This was the first goal for Richards in the USMNT jersey.

USMNT continued piling the pressure on Canada despite scoring and benefited from the approach in the 36th minute. Newcomer Folarin Balogun showed he’s a worthy addition to the USMNT squad, bagging his first goal for the national side as well. It was once again Reyna who made the assist.

Canada tried to orchestrate a comeback in the second half but failed to threaten Matt Turner despite having a handful of great chances. The Americans, on the other hand, were happy to absorb the pressure and look for ways to threaten a counter-attack.  

USMNT captain Christian Pulisic was pleased after the win, saying it is a step in the right direction for this young talented team.

“It’s another step in the right direction,” said USMNT captain Christian Pulisic after the game. “It’s just going to be about these knockout games. Come to those big tournaments, Copa America, World Cup; it’s time to get tough.”

Musah previously attracted interest from English clubs in January when Chelsea made a reported €35 million offer for the American. At the time, Valencia rejected the offer but is believed to be open for business this summer.

Musah played 33 games in La Liga this season, helping Valencia avoid relegation. He spent his entire professional career with the Spanish club, arriving as a 16-year-old player in 2019. The Bronx native has 25 caps with the United States men’s national team.

West Ham is considering several other players besides Musah as they look to prepare for Rice’s departure. The England international wants to move on to a bigger club and has no shortage of suitors.

Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City and Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich are among the clubs interested in signing Rice, but it is Arsenal who is making the most concrete moves lately. Arsenal already had an initial £80 million bid rejected earlier this week and are expected to make an improved bid soon.

According to multiple reports, Viera has expressed interest in coaching the USMNT, and the U.S. Soccer Federation is aware of this. The two sides already made initial contact, although the talks haven’t progressed to a formal stage at this point.

USMNT has an open head coaching position after Gregg Berhalter’s contract expired following the end of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The USSF decided to take a patient approach in searching for Berhalter’s replacement, with first Anthony Hudson and now B.J. Callaghan coaching the team on an interim basis.

While Viera is one of the candidates, the USSF is considering a number of other names, including former RB Leipzig and Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch. The final decision is expected to be made by August, according to previous comments from USSF’s sporting director Matt Crocker.

Patrick Vieira has been unemployed since being fired by Crystal Palace following a string of disappointing results to start the 2022-23 season. Viera previously coached NYCFC and Ligue 1 side Nice.
