subject: US transfer Talks [print this page] A lot of the US National team players are in transfer talks and the rumors stirring all over. We have a list of the names that are making the biggest splash this time around. Some might be a bit obvious while others might come at a surprise.
Landon Donovan
Donovan has been linked with the English Clubs. Though Everton was a nice fit last time around, they don't seem to have the resources to bring the American back. The team who does have the resources to spare is Manchester City.
City have expressed interest in Donovan. The Galaxy however will not let him go if they don't find a replacement for Donovan. Ronaldinho. Don Garber of the MLS said that Donovan wasn't going anywhere but with the type of money City is able to throw around; saying no may be a bit more complicated.

Damarcus Beasely
Beasely did not have the most successful stint in Scotland. He was plagued by injury and when it looked he would come back something was always there to bring him right back.
The speedy winger wanted to stay at Rangers where teammate Maurice Edu plays but that will not happen. Now the Florida native has been freshening up on his Dutch.
"Ja goed.. Rustig en miami!! Ik wil vandaag spreek nederlands!," Is what Beasely tweeted. Don't know why he wants to freshen up on his Dutch but it might just shed some light on where his football will b played.

Beasely seems interested in going back to the Netherlands where he made a name for himself. MLS Clubs have also shown interest
Freddy Adu
The once phenom of the soccer world has found it very difficult to find some playing time. His stint at Aris wasn't as bad as the Monaco one but it wasn't impressive either. Aris have let the player go and now Adu is in search for a Club.
Benfica still owns Adu but will not bring him back. Adu might be joining FC Sion in Sweden. They were supposed to make a decision on Thursday but we have no word yet.
A lot of people want Adu back in the states. Maybe like Donovan his career will be resurrected.

Clint Dempsey
Clint Dempsey is a very likeable figure within Fulham. Bigger teams have shown interest in the Texas native however.
This offseason Dempsey has been linked with AC Milan where fellow International teammate Oguchi Onyewu plays. Dempsey has also been linked with Juventus who certainly need a boost in the Italian league.
As we all remember Dempsey's goal against Juventus was a true gem and maybe that's why they've shown an interest.

Jay Demerit
Demerit did not get his contract renewed with Watford. Watford has been trying to cut back on salaries and paying Demerit was just too much for them.
MLS clubs are interested in Demerit but he will likely stay in England. The championship would be a good spot for Demerit but he can certainly play in the Premiere league after keeping Rooney in check.
A move to a German club would also suit Demerit. Maybe Hanover would like to acquire another American.
