Predicting Where the top American Young Soccer Players will End up in 5 Years

Giovanni Renya

This one is the easiest one, Bayern Munich. Dortmund has constantly been “clowned” for being the “Bayern Shopping Center”. If you don’t understand that reference, basically Dortmund develops great young players and Bayern buys them with prize money that they earned from buying Dortmund's players. Its one big cycle. Giovanni is a great player with speed and a good frame and is a regular for one of the greatest clubs in the world right now.

 
 

Christian Pulisic

Pulisic is kind of hard to predict, he was bought by Chelsea for $73 million (£57.6 million) and hasn’t done much. Besides having a few breakout games at the end of last season, he has done little to nothing. Usually you don’t have a $73 million player coming in at the 85th minute. So in my prediction, I have him at Bayern as well. I’m not just saying this out of the blue, reportedly Bayern is interested in a swap plus cash deal with Pulisic for Kingsley Coman.

 
 

Weston Mckennie

I think if one of if not the greatest midfielder to ever play the game says he enjoys you on their team, you're going to be there a while. Manager Pirlo recently bought Mckennie after being loaned out at Juventas on a 3 year deal, I think he is going to be there for a while.

 
 

Josh Sargent

Sargent is kind of a wildcard in my eyes. I see him as a pure striker with a good frame. An Oliver Giroud type of comparison. I think Sargent will develop a lot and work on every aspect of the game and end up on Barcelona as a rotational player or somewhere in the MLS. The hard part about predicting the future for young players is that some will develop and some will not. This is where I get my wildcard take on Josh Sargent. He could stay at his level right now and be okay, or he could really strive to improve and be the next big American soccer player.

 
 

Sergino Dest

Dest was bought recently by Barcelona and has solidified himself as one of the regulars at the powerhouse of a club. I think Barcelona will keep him there to develop and I believe that someone will come out and send an offer but Barcelona will shut them down and keep their fullback with a ton of potential. So long story short, Sergino Dest will be here 5 years from now.

 
 

Konrad De La Fuente

This guy is going to be so good. I’m saying it right here right now, he is going to be great. I feel like Barcelona will be impatient and sell him to PSG and he will develop with Kylian Mbappe by his side. I feel like Mbappe will move to more of a wing role and De La Fuente will start to become the striker and make this PSG team very good 5 years from now. Also, this PSG team has speed and more speed. This team will be very strong.
