Bundesliga Club Becomes Clear Front-Runner In Race To Sign USMNT Striker Ricardo Pepi

After being linked with Inter Milan, Sampdoria, Ajax and Wolves, it looks like one club has distinguished itself as the clear front-runner for signing Ricardo Pepi this January.

As reported by the only guy that now reports this sort of thing, Fabrizio Romano, the 18-year-old USMNT phenom is on the verge of moving to the Bundesliga from FC Dallas with Wolfsburg currently leading the race.

Wolfsburg is 13th in the table because of an attack that's generated only 17 goals in 17 matches. Lukas Nmecha and Wout Weghorst both have six goals and no other player has more than two.

It's a delicate balance, but the 2022 soccer tournaments calendar is a disruptive year with the Qatar World Cup falling between Nov. 21 and Dec. 18. 

Here's all the major action between January and December of 2022.

El Balón 2022 De La Liga MX Es Una Siesta En Comparación Al Que Tendrá La MLS

Si la idea es llevar la rivalidad entre México y Estados Unidos hasta el más mínimo detalle, hoy podemos decir que en el 2022 la Liga MX ya pierde 0-1.

Esto solamente basado a la hora de comparar los balones con que se jugarán cada una de las competencias. Sí, puede ser un elemento pequeño y superficial, pero al mismo tiempo sus estrenos y conceptos exhiben las diferencias a la hora de intentar vender el producto más allá de sus fronteras.

Timbs Overpower The Timbers — NYCFC Overcomes Horrific Blown Call To Win Club’s First MLS Cup

New York City FC lifted MLS Cup for the first time in the club’s six-year history on Saturday after tying Portland 1-1 and defeating the Timbers 4-2 on penalty kicks.
