Jozy Altidore's next career stop appears to be New England.
The veteran U.S. men's national team forward is reportedly on the verge of signing a three-year deal with the Revolution, according to Marc Stein, bringing an end to his time with Toronto FC and having him leave one of his former U.S. national team coaches (Bob Bradley) for another (Bruce Arena). The Athletic reports that the deal is contingent on Altidore and TFC agreeing to a buyout of his current contract, which is expected to happen. Altidore will not be a Designated Player in New England, according to ESPN, with his salary being bought down with allocation money.
Now 32, Altidore last played for the U.S. in the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup final. He was called into and participated in U.S. camp in January '21 but left before a friendly vs. Trinidad & Tobago over a minor injury. He hasn't been called back since, despite the U.S.'s need over time at center forward. He has 115 caps in his international career, and his 42 goals are third-most in USMNT history behind Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan.
