The USMNT engines are ready for the World Cup after beating Senegal by 3-2. Although the US soccer team is in a great moment, any national squad could be the one that eliminates them from the tournament.

Nevertheless, the huge momentum the USMNT players are having is reflected in their market value and the quality of clubs scouting them, because delivering a good performance in the World Cup could indeed put you in the spotlight of Europe's biggest clubs.

There are still two weeks before the beggining of the tournament, and USMNT right back Sergiño Dest has already caught the attention of Bayern Munich, who are considering a move for him after the competition (According to Rik Elfrink, via social media).

This rumor could mark a turning point in Sergiño Dest's career.

First of all, I have to start this section by saying that this is just a rumour; no official negotiations are going on. With that said, a move to Germany’s top club could mean many things for Sergiño Dest and for the USMNT.

The benefits for the USMNT are that their right-back is currently at an exceptional level, and they have stability in a position; not all national teams can say the same.

Also, it will put US soccer on a different level by having another athlete in Europe’s best leagues. Dest will be added to the list alongside Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Tyler Adams, among others.

On the other hand, for the player, it will be proof that the failed path through FC Barcelona and AC Milan was just a setback. It is also a victory in Dest's mental battle against injuries, which have sidelined him for many games throughout his career.

The fact that a club like Bayern Munich is now keeping tabs on him shows that those injury concerns are no longer a major obstacle to securing a move to one of Europe's top clubs.

This opportunity could mark the beginning of a remarkable ascent for the former Ajax player, paving the way for him to establish himself among the elite right-backs in world football.
