AC Milan midfielder Keisuke Honda is looking towards a move to the United States, according to his agent, as the Japanese star is set to turn down offers from China in favor of an MLS move. According to reports out of Italy, the Seattle Sounders, LA Galaxy and Sunderland have all registered interest.

“We’ve been in contact with several Chinese clubs,” his agent said. “We declined their offers though because of the problems that Keisuke would have in adapting to China. We definitely prefer MLS. Keisuke isn’t playing much in Milan and he doesn’t want to lose his place in the national team.”

Honda has made eighty appearances for the Italian giants. He has tallied eight goals while at the club while remaining a mainstay of the Japanese national team.

RSL reportedly eyeing Slovakian playmaker Rusnak

When Real Salt Lake parted ways with long-time playmaker Javier Morales, attacking midfield became a key area of need this offseason and it appears RSL may have found a replacement for its long-time assist man.

According to Dutch outlet Voetbal, Real Salt Lake has offered Groningen attacking midfielder Albert Rusnak a contract. The former Manchester City attacker is also reportedly a target of AS Roma and Swansea City after scoring nine goals in 61 appearances for the Dutch club.

The 22-year-old Slovakian international can play in any attacking role in midfield, but would fit right in as a central playmaker in place of Morales, who has signed with FC Dallas.

As part of the shakeup, Phil Rawlins will stay on as life president while Kay Rawlins will remain  in her current role as foundation president and vice president of community relations.
