USMNT winger Kevin Paredes ends Bundesliga season on high note with goal for Wolfsburg

Paredes opened the scoring in the match in the 18th minute, but Mainz went on to score three unanswered goals to seal a victory. Regardless, though, it was a momentous occasion for the youngster as he bagged his third goal of the season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Paredes had an up and cown campaign for the Bundesliga side in 2023-24, finding himself out of the starting XI for a large chunk of the season around the turn of the calendar year. However, he burst back into the team in 2024, earning an eventual 15 starts across 28 total appearances.Now, heading into the summer, the U.S. will need the talented winger to bring his best form to the international stage as they gear up for the Copa America and the Paris Olympics.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Paredes was named USMNT Young Player of the Year in 2023 after starring for club and country. He was a part of the U.S. November camp and has been a mainstay with the U23s since.

DID YOU KNOW?

Paredes will now turn his attention to representing the U.S. this summer at the Paris Olympic Games, while also being available for Copa if Gregg Berhalter so desires. The 21-year-old looks set to play a key role for Marko Mitrovic's side in July, though, and he'll likely report to camp this June for preparation.
