Valencia has opened contract talks with USA star Yunus Musah in an attempt to fend off interest from Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea, according to reports.
The US's World Cup run came to a crashing halt Saturday after Gregg Berhalter's team were knocked out in a heartbreaking 3-1 defeat to Holland in the Round of 16 but the youthful side still managed to impress, particularly Musah.
The 20-year-old caught the eye of some of Europe's elite on soccer's global stage after being part of the USA's powerhouse midfield that headed the team's charge to the knockout stages.
