USMNT Star Ricardo Pepi Set for Move to Bigger Stage as European Interest Calls

Major League Soccer has seen a huge rise in the star players that have come out of the league, and 18-year-old Dallas FC star Ricardo Pepi is next in line. The young forward has already played for the US men’s national team scoring three goals and has a very high potential to go to the top.

Following in the steps of Christian Pulisic, who made the move from the United States to Germany at Borussia Dortmund in 2015, Pepi is the subject of a lot of interest from the Bundesliga. While Pulisic was just 16 when he moved to Germany, Pepi is another star with a bright future.
