Several talented American players have made fascinating moves during the off-season and the window hasn't closed yet…

A former Barcelona star ready to star in Ligue 1. Sound familiar?
All jokes aside, Konrad de la Fuente's move to Marseille gives him what could just be the perfect launch pad after struggling to truly breakthrough at Barcelona.
The talent is certainly there, as the 20-year-old winger has already shown plenty at youth level with the U.S. and Barca.
But now he appears ready to truly kickstart his senior career thanks to a hot start at Marseille, one of France's most historic clubs.

This is Josh Sargent's real chance to claim the USMNT No.9 jersey.
The forward is currently locked in a big ole battle for that striker position, but moving to Norwich gives him the opportunity to truly lock it down.
Over the last few years at Werder Bremen, Sargent has been a victim of his team's lack of success as he's been unable to truly shine on a bad team.
It may be difficult to do so at Norwich too, as the Canaries were only just promoted.
But Norwich give Sargent a chance to compete in the Premier League and learn from, and maybe even replace, Teemu Pukki.

The ex-Sporting KC star, dubbed by the club's coach Peter Vermes as Pirlo-esque, will now get to further that reputation as he makes the move to Serie A.
Originally an attacking midfielder that is more than comfortable as a No.6 these days, Gianluca Busio is silky smooth on the ball, very good on set pieces and is consistently adding new wrinkles to his already-refined game.
The midifeld picture is very crowded with the U.S. but Venezia gives Busio the chance to grow with a club that has ambitions of becoming a regular in Serie A.

Busio isn't the only MLS product that signed for Veneziamerica this summer as he's joined by Tanner Tessman, who is the latest FC Dallas product to make his way to Europe.
At 19, he still has a lot of developing to do, but it seems Venezia are very high on the former Clemson football recruit, with the club betting on two teenage Americans upon their return to Serie A with the possibility of more USMNT stars on the way.
