The January transfer window 2023 is on the final day, and transfers are expected on Tuesday. A few USMNT soccer players were in the news for the transfers throughout this month. The current Premier League champions, Manchester City, are now linked with USMNT star Antonee Robinson, who plays for Fulham.

Robinson, an Everton academy graduate, plays as a left-back for Fulham currently. Turkish transfer expert believes City can make a bid for the left-back after letting Joao Cancelo leave for Bayern Munich on Monday. It will be interesting to see how Fulham reacts to the offer, if any, on the last day of the window. However, fans react to the transfer rumor.
Fans react to USMNT star’s transfer rumor
Turkish transfer expert Ekrem Konur tweeted, “Manchester City are set to make an opening bid for Fulham’s 25-year-old left-back Antonee Robinson.” One fan responded, “Yes and I’m all set for Mars travel before the transfer deadline. Elon Musk fire up the Starship. There could not be a worse pairing than Man City for Jedi’s skill set.”

A few fans think Robinson is not on the level of Manchester City, and it will be a mismatch transfer. Others think it will be the best move for the player to play under Pep Guardiola. It will help him to give a shot at USMNT selection, but the player should wait until the summer transfer window to play for a top club.
He doesn't fit City in the slightest this would be a pretty terrible matchup imo https://t.co/gMabN5oqzR

Wait, what? I love our 🇺🇸 boy but he has legs like a gazelle and sometimes trips on his own springy feet. He does not seem to me like a Man City player. #USMNT https://t.co/VGekkFhCY9

I’m stunned it took this long for Antonee to get linked to a big club. Jedi is the best Premier League player nobody is talking about. His toolbox is gigantic. As a Fulham supporter I hope he waits until the summer to leave but man I hope he gets his shot #USMNT https://t.co/WMrXRxhSBQ

Honestly playing under Pep might improve Jedi’s ability on the ball, even if he won’t start this could be a positive.
However, I don’t see him leaving Fulham right now. It is probably best that he stays. https://t.co/fO91QxOZvF

Fulham fans think the club won’t sell the player this late in the transfer window, and he will stay. One fan asked City to pay 1 billion for the player. With Jose Mourinho linked with the USMNT job, one fan is excited that the player will be under Guardiola at the club and Mourinho at the international level.
Give us 1B for him and we’ll rename Putney the “Manchester City Stand” https://t.co/79vcS2KBZD

Utter bullshit, no way we’re selling first choice players with one day left in the window, not happening https://t.co/JqwTWJarYW

Imagine Robinson being managed by Pep at club level and Mourinho at international level. 🧐 https://t.co/6wWcgFw28p

Nicknamed Jedi, Robinson is a regular starter for the London-based club. If there is an offer from City, Fulham might find it difficult to accept the offer for a regular starter on the final day of the transfer window. It will also depend on the player’s decision, as it would be a stepping stone for the 25-year-old in his career.
Will Manchester City go in search of Cancelo’s replacement?

Manchester City allowed their fullback Joao Cancelo to leave on six months loan to the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. It was a shocking transfer, especially on the penultimate day of the window. Cancelo was phenomenal in the last season’s Premier League winning campaign for City.

However, this season, the Portuguese has seen his game time reduced significantly and handed in a transfer request. He will join Bayern on a loan with an option to buy for the Germans. Now that City lacks a fullback in the squad, rumors of Robinson are surfacing. Robinson makes sense for City as the USMNT player has good experience in the Premier League.
