USMNT Transfers: Summer speculation swirls as Gio Reyna switches agents, Josh Sargent draws Premier League interest

Just a month-and-a-half from the close of one window and some two months away from the opening of another, the point remains quite clear: transfer season never ends. And, yes, that includes developments related to several notable U.S. men's national team stars.

Some big things are brewing ahead of a big summer. The looming 2026 World Cup will impact all transfer decisions going forward, and the right choice could lift a player to a meaningful World Cup role. Getting it wrong could mean missing out altogether.

That applies, in particular, to Gio Reyna, one player everyone will be watching this summer. He's back in the USMNT for the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League Finals, but his situation at Borussia Dortmund hasn't gotten much better. He seems a prime candidate for a move, and a recent development makes that all the more likely. But Reyna is just one of several American stars who could be making moves this summer.

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.

    Reyna changes agents

    When Reyna joined up with superagent Jorge Mendes, the expectation was that a major move was on the way. That's what Mendes does: make big moves. It's how he earned that super-agent title, and he was now helping guide Reyna's career.

    One failed loan and several wasted Borussia Dortmund seasons later, Reyna's career hasn't been guided anywhere great. Now, he's switched representation again, indicating that another swing may be coming.

    It was confirmed this week that Reyna has joined a new agency, signing with ROOF. It's his third agent in roughly 15 months. Generally, when a player changes agents, that means a new contract or a new transfer is on the table. Something is changing and, given Reyna's situation, that seems somewhat obvious.

    Let the speculation begin, then. Reyna may be on the move this summer, and a new team is in charge of assessing his options. It's a storyline to watch, perhaps the biggest as the U.S. heads into the summer transfer window.

    Time for Sargent to move on?

    The more he scores, the less likely it is that Josh Sargent stays in the Championship next season. The question is if he leaves with Norwich or someone else.

    Right now, Norwich's promotion looks unlikely as they fight for a playoff position. If they don't go up, it appears there's interest there, as reports have started to emerge that Sargent could be on the move this summer.

    According to TBR Football, it seems "unlikely" that Sargent will stay at Norwich amid Premier League interest. Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Brentford, Fulham and Everton have reportedly scouted him and, when that many teams are looking, something usually comes together.

    It's a big time for Sargent, who heads into the CONCACAF Nations League as the starting No. 9 for the USMNT. We all know how international success impacts transfers, and there's no doubt clubs will be watching to see how Sargent fares in these games.

    Will it overshadow his Championship success? No, but it sure could help - or hurt. Either way, Sargent is clearly commanding attention, which makes too much sense given the numbers he continues to put up on the club level.

    Robinson outlines ambitions

    Clubs were reportedly swirling for Antonee Robinson in January. He stayed at Fulham. They may be back in the summer, though, and Robinson has given some indication of what it would take for him to consider a Fulham exit.

    "I'm truly focused on just reaching the level I feel I can, which takes a lot of work off the pitch as well, trying to make sure I keep my body right, doing all the extras and training, things like that to make sure I'm on my best level," he told ESPN. "Eventually I want to perform at the highest level that I can. Whether that's playing Champions League, playing European competitions with Fulham, however I get there, I want to make sure I get there."

    One club that could help him get there is Liverpool, who have been linked with the defender for some time. Robinson was well aware of the links, with his friends and family reaching out about them.

    "Transfer rumors and stuff like that, I try not to look at," he said. "Especially like with the Liverpool one, all my friends and family are from Liverpool, so it's more of them messaging me than me seeing newspaper stuff. And I have to say, look, it's just, just a story in the paper and anyone who's doing well is going to get linked to a team."

    The links will continue and Robinson could face that big decision once again: continue to build at Fulham or chase his European dreams?

    Eyes from all over the world on Banks

    American soccer has started to take notice of Noahkai Banks as he continues to break out at Augsburg. Apparently, one of Italy's most historic clubs is, as well.

    Sky Sports has reported that Roma are interested in the defender, who is currently signed up with Augsburg through 2027. Banks is reportedly valued at more than $10.8M (€10 million), having clearly impressed during his seven appearances for Augsburg since his debut in January.

    Roma's reported interest has been noticed by Banks, who was flattered by the interest.

    "When I learned of the request of Roma, it was a huge appreciation for me at first," he told Sports Bild. "In particular, the fact that coach Claudio Ranieri personally made an effort for me was great. In the end, however, I am a player of FC Augsburg and know that the club still has a lot in plan with me."

    Banks remains a talking point for American soccer fans, particularly as a potential candidate for the national team. He's represented the U.S. on the youth levels, but is also eligible for Germany. Clubs are watching the defender as he continues to break through in the Bundesliga.
