The endless debate surrounding the professional future of United States men's national team forward Jordan Morris has gone on since the Stanford University product first appeared in red, white and blue on November 18, 2014. 

In 13 months since his international debut, Morris has scored his first goal for the Yanks in a friendly against rival Mexico, struck the back of the net on 13 occasions for Stanford and hoisted the College Cup on Sunday behind a brace of his own. 

Now the focus shifts to the 21-year-old's next move, just like it did a year ago before he opted to return to Stanford for his junior season. Based off his progression as a striker at Stanford and the need for him to improve so he can be a constant producer up top for the USMNT, all signs are pointing to Morris turning pro in the coming weeks or months. 

If he chooses to forgo his senior season in Palo Alto, California, Morris essentially has two options. Morris is a homegrown product of the Seattle Sounders, which means the Major League Soccer side owns his professional rights in North America. But there is a chance Morris elects to go overseas and ply his trade with a European club. Both options seem like fine choices for Morris, but which one will benefit him the most? 



The Sounders have made it known that they would like to have Morris join the already-dangerous strike partnership of Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins in the Pacific Northwest. However, the presence of the duo could be the exact reason Morris turns down a large domestic contract.

In November, Seattle general manager Garth Lagerwey confirmed the team was ready to offer Morris the most lucrative deal for a homegrown player in MLS history, per Matt Pentz of the Seattle Times. With the institution of new funding allotments by the league office last week, the possibility is high that Morris could sign a deal worth over $200,000 per year...
