HL!!!.......Looks like AUFC could lose 2 U.S.

[USAF]

players, this year - George Bello (19) has been receiving Euro interests, from England, Germany, Belgium, France & Turkey. Reported that Galatasaray S.K. has already contacted AUFC.......Miles Robinson (24) has received Euro interests, from Germany & France.
***Caden Clark (18 year-old NYRB AM) was transferred to RB Leipzig, but won't join them until the end of the MLS season.
***Gianluca Busio (19 year-old Sporting KC CM) has the most Euro interest & offers, of all the U.S. youth players - from Italy, Spain, Germany, England & Portugal. Italian father & Jamaican mother.
***It looked like Justin Che (17 year-old FC Dallas CB) would be the first Euro transfer, to Bayern Munich, but FCD wasn't ready to part with him. Bayern even sent reps, to Dallas, to try and get the deal done. I think the USMNT is hoping to cap him, in the Gold Cup, before his transfer, because he's also eligible to represent Cameroon (father), Russia & Germany (mother).
***About 4 other U.S. youth players are receiving serious Euro interests, so we'll see what happens.

***You might not recognize most of the players called up and/or selected for the USMNT Gold Cup squad.

Just coming from the Mercedes Benz stadium. We played NY METROSTARS. Nil all draw.

Must admit Bello and Robinson are two of our best players.

I wish them the very best.
