A closer look at the seasons for Paredes, Scally, and more in Germany

The club campaigns for several American players in Germany’s top divisions have ended, opening the door to a potential busy summer of international action.

Kevin Paredes, Joe Scally, and Johan Gomez are just three American players that could be featuring in competitions this summer with either the U.S. men’s national team or the U.S. men’s olympic national team.

Lennard Maloney will be pushing on the door for his USMNT opportunity after debuting last fall while John Brooks is a veteran player hoping to get back in the mix. Jordan Pefok’s club and international future remains unknown after his season-long loan from Union Berlin has ended.

Maximilian Dietz will hope to be fit for Olympic involvement after a breakout first full campaign with Greuther Furth.

Here is a closer look at the Americans, whose club seasons have ended in Germany:

Kevin Paredes

Kevin Paredes took major strides in his development this season, setting new career highs in appearances for Wolfsburg.

Paredes, 21, made 29 combined appearances for the 12th-place finishers, scoring two goals and logging over 1,500 minutes of action. The versatile winger/full back featured in multiple roles for Wolfsburg this season, helping the club avoid a relegation scrap and finish outside of the bottom three.

Paredes will not only be on Gregg Berhalter’s radar this summer, but also Marko Mitrovic’s.

Joe Scally

The 2023-24 Bundesliga season marked the third-consecutive 30+ appearance campaign for Joe Scally.

Scally, 21, made 35 combined appearances for Borussia Moenchengladbach, scoring one goal and adding four assists. Featuring mainly as a right back, Scally was a regular contributor for Gladbach this season, helping them avoid dropping into the bottom three.

He will now aim to replace Sergino Dest as the USMNT’s No. 1 right back following Dest’s torn ACL earlier this year.
