The 22-year-old American striker is on the verge of completing a deal to return to the Revolution, sources have confirmed to Goal USA.

Juan Agudelo left the New England Revolution more than a year ago in search of realizing his dream of European soccer. Now, the young striker is on the verge of becoming the latest American to return home to Major League Soccer.

Agudelo is closing in on a move to return to the Revs on a free transfer, sources have confirmed to Goal USA. He has turned down the latest approach from 1860 Munich and is in negotiations on a new deal with MLS and New England.

Agudelo left the Revolution after the 2013 MLS season and moved on a free transfer to Stoke City a year ago when he had his first work permit appeal rejected. The Premier League club then loaned Agudelo to FC Utrecht, hoping his play in the Netherlands could improve his chances of succeeding with a second work permit appeal last summer. When that appeal was rejected, Stoke City released Agudelo.

Agudelo, 22, has been a free agent since a short stint with Dutch side FC Utrecht came to an end last spring. He had also turned down an offer from Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.

If he completes a deal for a return to MLS, Agudelo will be returning to a New England side in much better shape than when he left it. The Revs are coming off a trip to the MLS Cup final after adding U.S. national team star Jermaine Jones last summer. Agudelo will step in and provide a boost to a Revs forward stable currently led by Charlie Davies, who enjoyed a breakout run to helped lead New England to the MLS Cup final.
