The United States men’s national team are continuing to follow the progress of Club America‘s dual-national Alejandro Zendejas, sources have confirmed to ESPN.
While the U.S. are tracking the midfielder, who has been one of the top performers in Liga MX this season, they have not been in direct contact with him, sources added to ESPN Mexico.

Zendejas, born in Mexico but raised north of the border, previously played for the U.S. at the youth national team level, including at the 2015 Under-17 World Cup. Since then, he’s featured for Mexico in two senior international friendlies in late 2021 and early 2022, although recent questions have been raised regarding his eligibility.
A representative for U.S. Soccer confirmed to ESPN that they’re following the player, but noted that the development isn’t new due to Zendejas’ previous involvement in the U.S. national team structure, which they said means he remains part of their player pool.
