ORLANDO, Fla.-- Geoff Cameron's time with the Houston Dynamo could be coming to a close in the near future.

The Dynamo centerback is currently attracting interest from several clubs abroad, sources with knowledge of the situation told SBI on Thursday. The clubs eyeing the versatile 26-year-old have not been identified, but there are potential suitors in Germany, England, Portugal and Holland.

Cameron's current deal with the Dynamo runs through the end of this season with two optional years after that, but sources tell SBI the U.S. men's national team defender is keen on moving.

Cameron has started in all 10 of the Dynamo's games this season, and he was a vital part of the club's run to the MLS Cup final in 2011. He has impressed U.S. national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann enough to be a part of the current U.S. national team camp, where he has become one of Klinsmann's top four centerback options.


leads to my follow up question, do YOU think a player needs to spend time oversees to be a regular with the USMNT?

I dont think so. Obviously it can be a great thing for a player to get overseas, but I think the player is good so he gets moved, not that the move makes the player good.

I wouldn't say "need", but I always think it is better to surround yourself with better competition day in and day out. This is true as long as you are getting playing time of course.

He is one of JK's favs. I guarantee he'll be in Germany, on a favor from JK.

He has been working hard to get US players in the bundesliga. Even if it is just training.

I would love to have a roster full of Bundesliga regulars.

He needs to be working equally as hard on improving the MLS. (Wonder if that's in his job description?)

My first impression of him was that he was talented but lazy. But I haven't complained too much about him lately.
