The USMNT Transfer Notebook tracks American player movements, with latest developments for those in the U.S. national team poolWeston McKennie might finally get his move. There's a vicious cycle every year for the midfielder. We are told he is out of favor at Juventus. he starts to play good football for Juventus. And then Juventus decides to move him - only for him to stay again. Well, the rumors are back. Two Premier League clubs are supposedly in for the Juventus midfielder, and there might be interest from elsewhere, too. Elsewhere, there's news in the striker pool. Josh Sargent, an inconsistent presence at Norwich, is creeping towards a transfer to MLS. It would seem to make sense for the No. 9, who has never quite found consistency in the EFL Championship. And a move to North America might give him a shot at the national side, too. Elsewhere, there's contract furor - and a potential sale - surrounding Tristan Blackmon, one of the best defenders in MLS. And a talented youngster in Griffin Yow is reportedly returning to his American roots to play under a former coach. GOAL tracks all of the American player movements in the USMNT Transfer Notebook, a recurring feature covering the latest developments for those in the U.S. national team pool.There has been talk for some time that Sargent might want out of Norwich. The striker has proved his credentials in the Championship, and the assumption was that he would get another shot at Europe. Germany might have made sense, with Sargent presumably eager to show that he can bag on the continent after a mixed spell at Werder Bremen. Well, it looks like a different move seems to be taking shape. Toronto have shown serious interest in the fringe USMNT forward, offering somewhere in the region of $18 million for his services. Norwich, who are stuck in a relegation battle, don't want to sell. Toronto are eager to buy. The latest talk suggests that he is not for sale at any price. But at some point, the money might be too good to turn down. Either way, it seems the wheels are turning quickly. A resolution seems imminent. McKennie has always been linked with a move away from Juventus, even if he's insisted he'd like to stay long-term. But perhaps, as a result of the club putting him in and out of the transfer window, he's shown an openness to moving as well. He did flirt with FC Cincinnati in 2024 and there has been constant chatter here and there. And now, it's all kicked off again. McKennie has been in fine form of late, and it's supposedly enough to get Premier League teams interested. GiveMeSporthas reported that two unnamed Premier League clubs are sniffing around the American, who is out of contract this summer. There is supposedly also interest from elsewhere in Italy, and Atletico Madrid - who have just moved Connor Gallagher to Tottenham. A fee of $13 million would apparently be enough to get the job done. The pieces seem to be falling into place...One of the more compelling stories of the MLS offseason has been the furor surrounding Tristan Blackmon. The USMNT center back has repeatedly been linked with Inter Miami, with some reports suggesting that he had agreed a deal to join the reigning MLS Cup champions. And Twitter exploded. The Herons reportedly made a bid of $3 million for the reigning MLS Defender of the Year, but the Whitecaps declined.Since then, though, things have gotten confusing. It has since emerged that Blackmon has been in contract negotiations for some time. It would seem that the American wants a new deal to continue his tenure in Canada (his deal is due to expire in 2027). Blackmon did not show up for preseason training on Wednesday evening, but reported on Thursday morning. The club has insisted that they have no intention of selling him. Negotiations, it would seem, will continue. Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingGriffin Yow has been on the periphery of the USMNT for a while. The D.C. United product was a regular for U.S. Youth National sides, where he impressed at a number of age groups. It seemed, after a strong start in Washington, that he would be a D.C. regular. But in 2022, the club moved him to Belgian side Westerlo. And now, it seems, he's on the way back. Yow had his moment at Westerlo, but New England Revolution are reportedly eager to bring in the American, 23, and are shelling out $400,000 to bring in the talented young winger. The Revs had a poor 2025 season under Caleb Porter, but seem primed to retool under new manager Marko Mitrovic - who coached Yow during his U.S. youth career.
Weston McKennie's Transfer Saga
Weston McKennie, the talented midfielder, may finally be on the verge of leaving Juventus after a recurring cycle of being linked with a move away. Rumors suggest two Premier League clubs are interested in the American, with potential interest from other clubs as well. McKennie's good form has reportedly attracted suitors, and a fee of $13 million could seal the deal.
Josh Sargent's Potential MLS Move
Josh Sargent, the striker at Norwich City, is facing an impasse with the club amidst interest from Toronto FC in Major League Soccer. Norwich is hesitant to sell, but Toronto's offer of around $18 million could lead to a resolution. Sargent's inconsistent spell in Europe might see him make a move to North America, providing him with a chance to showcase his abilities and possibly earn a spot in the USMNT.
Tristan Blackmon's Contract Furor
Tristan Blackmon, a standout defender in MLS, has been embroiled in contract negotiations amid interest from Inter Miami. Reports of a bid from the reigning MLS Cup champions were initially denied by his current club, Vancouver Whitecaps. With uncertainties surrounding his future, negotiations for a potential new deal are ongoing, as Blackmon looks to secure his playing tenure.
Griffin Yow's MLS Return
Griffin Yow, a promising young winger, is reportedly set to return to MLS after a stint in Belgium with Westerlo. New England Revolution is keen on bringing the 23-year-old back to the American soccer scene, offering $400,000 for his services. Yow, who impressed at youth levels, could bolster the Revs' squad under the guidance of coach Marko Mitrovic, his former U.S. youth team mentor.
