When Gale Agbossoumonde was loaned to Portuguese giant Sporting Club Braga last winter, things were looking pretty bright for the 18-year-old centerback.

His professional outlook hasn't changed, but his club status has. After a large turnover in Braga's front office and technical staff and despite Agbossoumonde showing well with the first team, the organization elected not to exercise its option to purchase Agbossoumonde from parent club Miami FC, leaving him without a team after the European summer transfer window shut.

In the meantime, Agbossoumonde is training with Portuguese second-division side G.D. Estoril Praia, along with fellow Americans (and on-loan Miami FCers) Tony Taylor, Bryan Arguez and Greg Garza. Fernando Clavijo, now the director of soccer at Miami FC, said that within a few weeks Agbossoumonde will likely be joining a team in the Liga Intercalar, a reserve division in Portugal, in order to get some game experience prior to the opening of the next transfer window.

Disappointed that Agbossoumonde didn't stay with Braga? Where would you like to see him sign?
