USMNT players complete summer transfers as Folarin Balogun remains at Monaco

The summer transfer window concluded with several USMNT players securing moves to European clubs, though Folarin Balogun remains with Monaco after a potential deal to join Everton collapsed. Sources report that issues during a medical examination prevented the transfer, leaving Everton with a shortage of strikers. Elsewhere, Gio Reyna transitioned from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Strasbourg, while Cole Campbell moved from Borussia Dortmund to SV Elversberg. The English Championship saw a surge in American arrivals, including Sebastian Berhalter and Max Arfsten at Middlesbrough, alongside Rokas Pukstas and loan signing Caleb Wiley at Preston North End. Additionally, teenager Zavier Gozo joined Crystal Palace from Real Salt Lake. These player movements are expected to influence national team squad selections under Mauricio Pochettino as the players seek increased playing time and development in new environments.
