ESPN FC’s Sebastian Salazar is joined by Alejandro Moreno and Herculez Gomez to react to recent reports linking United States men’s national team and Werder Bremen forward Josh Sargent to Serie A giant Juventus. Moreno questions why the USMNT youngster would be linked with Maurizio Sarri’s Juve as he’s not even starting with his current Bundesliga side. On the other hand, Gomez feels the young American shouldn’t pay attention to the transfer rumors, despite the excitement of playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo could stir up.

They buy these Americans players to increase the value of their US TV rights because they think more Americans will be interested in seeing American players. The Premier League gets almost $1 billion from the NBC. There is no way Chelsea would spend 69 million on a player from another country that had never scored more than 5 league goals in a season like they did with Pulisic, but feel their are benefits in the US media market. I think the reason you see so many Americans in the Bundesliga because Fox Sports pays the most for the foreign tv rights for Bundesliga so they want American interest to boost TV ratings to keep the value of their us TV rights. They were even buying some Mexican players to boost tv ratings in the US. My Juve have just discovered this so now want American players.
Jesus Christ, a big team thinks of an American and everyone proceeds to make outrageous claims. Werder Bremen have several forwards and only Osako has more goals than him, 4 against Sargent's 3, all the other center forwards have 3 or less in more starts while Sargent has been playing primarily as a winger. If you are Juventus, who doesn't splash like Man City or a PSG, who would you go with? Worst thing that could happen to Sargent, or any player his age, is that they get loaned out to another Serie A club until they're ready for the first team. Moses Kean had a future but he'd rather throw parties or go out clubbing, now he's dogging it at Everton.
But sure, tell me how Lozano is doing?
Woah!!!! I hope this is true
Buying him for the American Shirt sales! No other reason.
Lol there's no way he's starting
What’s frustrating to me is all across Soccer especially in England with the EPL, the American player has a negative connotation stuck to it.
I watch every single team in the Premier League and every match and I see very poor play from players and I know many Americans should be starting and playing on these clubs but somehow they get continually overlooked.
I just don’t understand the stigmatism across the world in the EPL and Bundesliga against American players when clearly there should be more Americans on clubs and even starting for many of those clubs.
Who
Youngest player in us history to score at u20 World Cup, who cares
This is nothing new, Juve signed people like. James Troisi and Stephy Mavididi
Inter signed Trent Sainsbury
They sign player like this as investments in the hope they can flip them down the line for profit after some loans
Bremen will probably get relegated. If Josh does go to Juve which is unlikely, then he'll probably just get loaned to another club for more matches sooooo….
Guys are you serious? He is not playing at Bremen! This guy would be a good 2 Bundesliga player, not more. If he wants to play regularly he should hop on the plane and play MLS, over there he will be a decent player and play without pressure.
We don't even talk about this guy out here.
These two…has beens that never weres…
Fifa legend
Espn FC got baited
He is not 17
He’s a bust
3 clueless clowns trying to show they now their stuff 😂 the worst of all Ale Moreno his punditry is trash

🤔😂🤣😭💀☠wow … they link ANYBODY to Juventus nowadays huh LOL.
ESPN FC is a comedy show 😂
I heard Real Madrid want him too….
Is this for real?
Dude he’s 20 years old in a team that was once good last season but fell off. Football is a team game. How do you expect a 20 year old striker that gets not service to have a good season?
