Ciyaartoyda USMNT oo u guuray kooxo cusub: Arfsten iyo Berhalter ayaa Middlesbrough ku biiray
Dhowr ciyaartoy oo ka tirsan xulka qaranka Mareykanka ayaa u guuray kooxo cusub marka loo eego suuqa kala guurka. Max Arfsten ayaa loo dhiibay Middlesbrough $7.5m, Sebastian Berhalterna $2m, halka Gio Reyna uu tagay Strasbourg $5m. Qaar kale ayaa isbeddelay.
Arfsten iyo Berhalter oo Middlesbrough u guuray
Max Arfsten oo ah daafaca bidix ee 25 jir ayaa ka guuray Columbus Crew una guuray Middlesbrough lacag dhan $7.5m (€6.5m). Wuxuu ku biiray Sebastian Berhalter iyo Aidan Morris, iyadoo Berhalter uu ka yimid Vancouver Whitecaps $2m (€1.75m).
Berhalter waa midfield-ka 25 jir ah oo qandaraaskiisu ku dhammaanayay Diseembar, Whitecaps-na ay doortay inay lacag ka hesho. Middlesbrough waxay dhammaystirtay kaalinta 5-aad horyaalkeedii hore, waxaana soo gashay Hayden Hackney ka dib markii uu Everton u guuray.
Reyna iyo Kochen oo kooxo kale u guuray
Gio Reyna oo 23 jir ah ayaa ka guuray Borussia Mönchengladbach una guuray Strasbourg $5m (€4m). Strasbourg waxaa iska leh shirkadda waalidka ee Chelsea, waxaana lagu soo wariyay inay dalbanayaan dalabyo Julio Enciso.
Diego Kochen oo ah 20 jir goolhayaha ayaa loo amaahiyay Barcelona una guuray Lyngby Boldklub. Lyngby waxay kor u kacday heerka koowaad ee Danmark, Kochenna wuxuu la ciyaaray kooxda B ee Barcelona 37 kulan.
Reynolds iyo saamaynta xulka qaranka
Bryan Reynolds oo 25 jir ah ayaa ka guuray KVC Westerlo una guuray Stade Rennais $5m (€4m). Reynolds wuxuu ciyaaray lix jeer kaliya Serie A, wuxuuna markii ugu dambeysay u soo baxay USMNT 2023. Rennais waxay gashay kaalinta 6-aad Ligue 1.
Reynolds wuxuu weynaa u dhashay weeraryahe, laakiin hadda waa daafac bidix. Mauricio Pochettino wuxuu ahaa maamulaha USMNT xilliyadii World Cup-ka, wuxuuna Diego Kochen u yeedhay xeryaha tababarada.
With the next FIFA World Cup four years away, American players are taking calculated risks on ambitious transfers. ESPN grades the latest moves by USMNT pool players, with Max Arfsten earning a B+ for his $7.5 million switch to Middlesbrough.
Arfsten Joins Middlesbrough in American Trio
Max Arfsten, a 25-year-old left wingback, has moved from Columbus Crew to Middlesbrough for $7.5 million (€6.5 million). He joins Sebastian Berhalter and Aidan Morris at the North Yorkshire club, which finished fifth in the Championship last season. Arfsten is a two-footed attacker who will fit into manager Kim Hellberg's system, which often uses three at the back with attack-minded wingbacks. He could challenge Matt Targett for the first-choice left-back spot at a club that was fourth in goals a year ago.
Arfsten played just a single minute for the U.S. at the World Cup under Mauricio Pochettino. While he is not a traditional left back, his attacking talents could make him a bigger role for the national team as Antonee Robinson approaches 30 years old. If he improves his defensive reliability while continuing to drive forward, he could become a more dependable selection for Pochettino in the years ahead.
Reynolds and Reyna Shift to New Challenges
Bryan Reynolds, a 25-year-old right back, has transferred from KVC Westerlo to Stade Rennais for $5 million (€4 million). The Texan, who grew up as a forward and played only six times in Serie A, now joins a club that finished sixth in Ligue 1. Reynolds can play in a back four or push into a wingback role when Rennais uses three at the defense. The club has been in European competitions for six consecutive seasons, offering Reynolds a step up from his time at Roma.
Gio Reyna, a 23-year-old attacker, moved from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Strasbourg for $5 million (€4 million). His disappointing stint at Gladbach, where he played fewer than 600 minutes, is over. Reyna scored a trivela goal in the U.S. win over Paraguay at the World Cup, showcasing his technical ability. Strasbourg, owned by Chelsea's parent company, may clear room in the attacking midfield spot by entertaining offers for Julio Enciso, potentially giving Reyna a chance to reestablish himself.
Berhalter and Kochen Make Strategic Moves
Sebastian Berhalter, a 25-year-old midfielder, transferred from Vancouver Whitecaps to Middlesbrough for $2 million (€1.75 million). His contract in Vancouver was set to expire in December, and the Whitecaps opted to get something for him. Berhalter is a tremendous ball striker and a fiery player who should suit Middlesbrough's promotion battle. He will start alongside Aidan Morris, though expectations are high as he replaces Hayden Hackney, who moved to Everton.
Diego Kochen, a 20-year-old goalkeeper, was loaned from Barcelona to Lyngby Boldklub, which was promoted to the Danish top flight. Kochen has 37 appearances with Barcelona's B team and was made the third goalkeeper last season. Mauricio Pochettino has tapped him for training camps, and the U.S. has lacked a reliable goalkeeper since Tim Howard at the 2014 World Cup. Kochen has played at every youth national team level for the U.S., offering hope for the future.
