The Athletic have done an article listing all the USMNT players who could move this summer: Chris Richards A candidate to start for the U.S. in Qatar, Richards is attracting attention from Premier League clubs. Sources confirmed reports that Crystal Palace have shown interest in landing the 22-year-old from Bayern Munich. They added that Southampton has done the same. Acquired from FC Dallas in January 2019, Richards has made 10 first-team appearances across all competitions for Bayern. He spent the last season and a half on loan to fellow Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim, making 11 appearances down the stretch of the 2020-21 campaign after joining them at the close of the winter transfer window, then playing in 20 league matches in the recently completed season. Injuries somewhat limited him this year, with one keeping him out of the current USMNT camp, but Richards is highly regarded on both the club and international levels. While he’s drawn interest from the Premier League, there’s a chance that Bayern hold onto him this summer, with German outlet Kicker recently reporting that he’ll get a chance to carve out a larger role for himself during preseason. Sources indicate that Bayern wouldn’t part with him cheaply.

I feel like a Dan Sheldon transfer update is imminent before he leaves.

This was the absolute golden moment of Alex Crook history 😂

Signing tomorrow?

Very good point, this. I thought I half-decent at following the lads who go abroad but he was completely off my radar.

I have no idea if we want him, but when his name appeared the other week, it had all the hallmarks of a Saints-esque target.

A more #Saintsy Villa move would be to go for Carney Chukwuemeka if he doesn’t sign a new deal. (I think he will, though).

Great find. I prefer our own ear-lobe spotting niche over plane tracking. I’m intrigued by the multi-club model (there’s a lot to get right to make work) but the theory of it is good. On a related note, I wonder if we will hear from our Danish-Serbian overlords this summer?

Normally, it's early July.

It’s odd we haven’t mentioned the academy lads.

Poor, MLG. Where’s the respect? 😜

Another ex-linkee on the move.

Ralph was right on Ings, FWIW. Grass isn’t always greener.

Yeah, there’s always a chance as they are so well funded. File it under “one to watch”.

Might be wrong, but doubt Boro could stump up that cash (even if they sell Spence). Only teams on parachute cash could probably do it.

This is a very random link / source combo.

Xavier Simons is a no-go.

Along with the aforementioned Tshaka, it looks like Teddy Davey has been let-go.

Guess that doesn’t include U18’s as we know Tshaka left.

Don’t we normally announce youth players who got released on our retained list as well? (Or are we going to have to go through the list & work out who’s been released?!)
