There are several Americans capable of playing at a full-back that are making a name for themselves in Europe such as Sergino Dest, Tyler Adams, and Antonee Robinson. A player USMNT fans hope makes a move to Europe soon is Reggie Cannon, another promising player developed by FC Dallas’s youth academy. Fast full-backs with stamina are often on the top of many club’s target list. Cannon certainly fits that bill.

Wage: 8K/week

Release Clause: 15.3 million

LA Galaxy: Efrain Alvarez

Country: Mexico

Position: CAM/CF

Age: 17

Starting Rating: 60

Potential: 81

Value: 450K

Wage: 500/week

Release Clause: 1.1 million

LA Galaxy fans would expect Cristian Pavon to be the entry for a list like this, but he is probably the most obvious transfer target within MLS aside from Josef Martinez. Instead, how about Efrain Alvarez, a Mexican player with a great story growing up in Los Angeles and who was a runner up with Mexico’s U-17 team in the 2019 U-17 World Cup? From humble origins to potentially thriving at a big club, that is what career mode is all about.

LAFC, Diego Rossi

Los Angeles FC: Diego Rossi

Country: Uruguay

Position: LW/ST/RW

Age: 21

Starting Rating: 74

Potential: 83

Value: 8.5 million euro

Wage: 7K euro/week

Release Clause: 14.5 million

A player who can slot in at any forward position and has formed a dangerous partnership with Carlos Vela, many believe that Diego Rossi can realistically contribute to a Champions League or Europa League club. He has represented Uruguay at youth level, though he still awaits a senior cap, and his potential in career mode can turn him into a legend for club and country.

Minnesota United, Mason Toye

Minnesota United: Mason Toye

Country: USA

Position: ST

Age: 20

Starting Rating: 65

Potential: 76

Value: 950K/week

Wage: 2K/week

Release Clause: 1.6 million

Many of Minnesota United’s top players are older and established such as Jan Gregus, Kevin Molino, Ike Opara, and Michael Boxall. The last American striker to break through as a potential star for club and country was Miguel Ibarra, but now a player those fans hope will reach greater heights is Mason Toye. He has one of the more modest potentials on this list, but maybe with dynamic potential, you can help him break that 76 barrier.
