Did you wonder why I recently put Spain among the nations with Champions League-qualified clubs interested in Clint Dempsey when no one else has? Well, now you know thanks to a dastardly Marca scribe doing a bit of MLS Espanol work. And there went that vest card...Okay, so let's discuss it. Yes, it's true that Málaga are considering an offer for our man Deuce, I've been watching them watching him

I may be getting phone ear, but it allowed me to hear many interesting things along my travels through the back corridors the last few days - much more than I let drop in this week's summer transfer window preview Postcard. Let's spill a few more items... Not exactly a great secret at this point, but it does from all appearance seem that Terrence Boyd is heading to Rapid Vienna very shortly.

In case you missed Part 1, you can see it here. Enjoy:

This mini-serial has a new episode today. The exposition points: Thanks to sources, I can now definitively confirm that there will be no loan spell for hot USMNT topic Terrence Boyd. Borussia Dortmund have decided they are amply stocked with strong prospects at that position. They are only accepting buy offers and he will definitely be leaving the Bundesliga champs this summer.

It's time again for my annual summer update of Americans to have raised top level silver in Europe. Maybe another day I'll put together a Mexico list or a second division and lesser cups list, but for now we stick solely to top flights, European cups and domestic cups that come with a UEFA berth. The newly crowned are in boldface.

Clint Dempsey sounds like a man ready to tackle a new challenge.

Coming off the greatest season of his career and entering the final year of his contract with Fulham, Dempsey opened up about his options and hopes for the upcoming transfer window in an interview with Fox Soccer, and the message is pretty clear: While not outwardly saying a permanent goodbye to Fulham, Dempsey is prepared for the bright lights of the UEFA Champions League and an opportunity at a bigger club.

No links this time, just a coupla semi-goodies, a bit of good news and a Danish-American horn toot. It's just about that time again, so let's unpack those ol' thumbs up and down for summer... #1 - Let's start with a couple of transfer report reviews: I can confirm that the Austrian report of Rapid Vienna being a loan option for young Borussia Dortmund goal shark Terrence "Ostinato Cello" Boyd

Michael Parkhurst will be reporting to U.S. national team camp Thursday as a champion.

Parkhurst's FC Nordsjaelland put the finishing touches on their Danish Superliga title on Wednesday, defeating Horsens 3-0 in the season finale to hold off FC Copenhagen and seal a place in the UEFA Champions League.

Gareth Bale and five other players will not be available for Wales' friendly against Mexico this coming Sunday, but one of the replacements called in is American-born Adam Henley.

The 17-year-old left back, who was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, is among the six players who have been summoned by Wales head coach Chris Coleman as replacements for the upcoming friendly versus Mexico at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.

FC Nordsjaelland are one step away from becoming champions of Denmark, and Michael Parkhurst is a big reason for that.

Playing left back, Parkhurst delivered the assist on the winning goal in Nordsjaelland's 1-0 victory over Brondby. The win placed Nordsjaelland in first place in Denmark with one game left in the season.

Molde FK winger Josh Gatt bagged his third of the young season on 26 minutes and it stood up as winner in a 2-0 defeat of Sandnes. We'll get that clip up ASAP...- Greg Seltzer

*Provided you're not a Bayern fan. Or Angela Merkel. Let's sift through Chelsea's rude guest European championship triumph that knocked Brad Friedel to the Europa League (rabidly unfairly, I say) and shoved Sacha Kljestan's Anderlecht out of the 2012/13 Champions League group phase. szólj hozzá: Bayern - Chelsea Full HD - Greg Seltzer

Herculez Gomez may not have had a chance to help Santos Laguna in the first leg of the Clausura Liguilla final, but the short turnaround before the second game could provide him a prime opportunity to help push the club to a championship.

Zak Whitbread's career has hit a most unwelcome bump in the road.

The American centerback was released by Norwich City on Thursday after another injury-plagued campaign. Whitbread, 28, made 21 appearances for Norwich as the club finished midtable in its first season back in the Premier League.

Another young American prospect in Germany has signed a long-term contract that secures the next step on his career path.

Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart announced Wednesday that they have signed U.S. Under-20 forward Jerome Kiesewetter through 2016, with the player moving to the team from recently relegated Hertha Berlin.

Seriously, who doesn't start Wednesday at the office with some soccer tube? You may have already heard Real Salt Lake's badass new anthem. In this clip, Rancid drummer Branden Steineckert talks about his love for the club and how the new club song came together. How awesome is that? In case you weren't at the White House yesterday, here is video of the L.

Regarding Americans in Europe: - Playing without Alfredo Morales, Hertha Berlin were relegated to the 2.Bundesliga tonight by Fortuna Düsseldorf. - Hapoel Tel Aviv took the State Cup final in the 90th minute, meaning Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya are in the Europa League. - Ahead of their Europa League playoff tie, Gent loan midfielder Mikkel Diskerud has publicly stated his desire to have

Josh Gatt made his return to Molde FK's starting lineup this weekend, and he might be staying there for the foreseeable future after a strong outing in a blowout win.

Molde topped Stabaek 5-0 on Saturday, and Gatt contributed to the rout with a goal and an assist.

This list is not final, one American still must wait on a result to see if he makes the dance and the numbers here could rise or fall over the summer transfer window. Effectively, this is an as-things-stand pre-list just to give you an idea of who will be kickin' it in Europe this coming fall.Champions LeagueGroup phaseTerrence Boyd - Borussia DortmundJermaine Jones - SchalkeQualified, group

[Photo: Kees Martens/Eindhovens Dagblad] Helmond Sport handyman Charles Kazlauskas nodded the 2-0 capper at derby foes FC Eindhoven to help the club reach one of two Eredivisie promotion/relegation finals (where they will face the VVV/Cambuur winner). You can have a gander at his career-best seventh goal of the term here.

Word on the street is that one Josh Gatt got himself a goal and an assist in Molde's 5-0 blowout of Stabaek. Ricardo Clark has the misfortune of being on the wrong side of that scoreline. Also, Sean Cunningham started for Molde and Erik Benjaminsen came off the bench early for a Mix-less Stabaek. Clip(s) to be mercilessly hunted down .

When Fulham needed a goal this season, they generally reached for the button on Clint Dempsey's destroy program. The U.S. star will miss out on a closing day duel with cross-town rivals Tottenham on Sunday, so let's rewind to enjoy his record-setting campaign one more time. Since you've probably seen the free kick for his 50th club goal about 50 times in the last week, let's run back through

When the final day of the English Premier League season kicks off on Sunday, no American player will be playing in a more important match than Tim Ream.

The former New York Red Bulls centerback and U.S. national team defender is about to cap a strong first half season in England by playing in a match that will determine whether his club, Bolton, stays in the Premier League or is relegated to the League Championship.

Clint Dempsey's record-setting season is over.

Fulham manager Martin Jol confirmed on the club's website that Dempsey will miss Sunday's season finale against Tottenham with a hip injury, prematurely ending what has been the greatest season of the American attacker's career.

It is do-or-die time for Bolton Wanderers.

Staring relegation in the face, Bolton will only avoid the drop to the Championship if they win their game at Stoke City and Manchester City tops Queens Park Rangers on Sunday. Tim Ream should resume his role in central defense for the Trotters, and he will need to help shutdown the likes of Peter Crouch and Kenwyne Jones to give Bolton a chance at staying in the EPL.

Now a rising star pundit on Sky, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has tabbed his Team of the Season with a familiar name in the side. Below, he explains why the Texas Tornado is his choice over some big names on the left. - Greg Seltzer

Stay up, or go down, Bolton can count on Stuart Holden to stick around.

The U.S. midfielder, who is continuing his comeback from fall knee surgery, pledged his future to the club regardless of what happens in its battle against relegation. In order to stave off the drop and remain in the Premier League, Bolton need to defeat Stoke City on Sunday while hoping that Queens Park Rangers lose to Manchester City.

On the heels of a campaign in which Sacha Kljestan was a focal point in helping lead Anderlecht to a Belgian league championship, the club is hoping to lock up the U.S. midfielder for the long term.

Kljestan's current deal with Anderlecht runs through 2014, but according to Belgian outlet Het Niuewsblad, Anderlecht is looking to extend Kljestan's stay in Belgium for two or three more years beyond then.

Sacha Kljestan will never forget what he accomplished this weekend.

Kljestan won his first trophy as a professional on Sunday, as RSC Anderlecht secured the Pro League championship with a 1-1 draw versus Club Brugge despite two games still left to play in the season.

Clint Dempsey's dream season with Fulham continued today as he notched his 17th goal of the Premier League season and 23rd in all competitions with an outstanding free kick.

The goal also marked the 50th Premier League goal in Dempsey's career, extending the American record he already held.

It took a last gasp Anderlecht spot kick, but Sacha Kljestan is a league champion for the first time. Hail the king! - Greg Seltzer

Clint Dempsey has hit his Fulham half-century, banging home a free kick on 12 minutes for his 50th Cottagers goal. It was not only his 17th EPL goal of the season (fourth-best), but also his 10th first goal (tied for second in the league). The clip - or should I say, at least one - to come... - Greg Seltzer

Jozy Altidore has a bruised back for his trouble, but the U.S. men's national team striker is not expected to miss much time after being given the all-clear following the nasty crash into a video board during a match on Wednesday.

Altidore left AZ Alkmaar's match against NEC Breda after being pushed into a hard surface near the edge of the playing field.

This time last year, Joe Corona and Club Tijuana were fighting to gain promotion to the top division in Mexican soccer. Now, the team has its eyes on the Primera Division title, but it will need a road comeback to keep that dream alive.

Corona is one of several Americans partaking in the liguilla this season, and he and fellow Americans Edgar Castillo and Greg Garza will look to help Tijuana overturn a 2-1 deficit to CONCACAF Champions League winner Monterrey in the quarterfinals of the Mexican playoffs.

If only Vespucci had been born in the Eternal City instead of Firenze, the post title would be perfect. That drat-ness aside, we're going to do things a little different this time. Usually, I come here to drop quotes that didn't make it into the final cut of the corresponding linked Postcard From Europe feature.

Jozy Altidore does not have a concussion (or any head injury, for that matter). He has a back bruise that will likely keep him out on Sunday. Full report coming shortly at MLSS, and those who haven't can see the rather scary incident about 1:10 into the highlight reel.- Greg Seltzer
