This comes after a dismal showing at Copa America that saw the Stars and Stripes getting eliminated in the group stage at home soil.

US chiefs are determined to put together a strong showing at the World Cup in the next two years and are looking for a "serial winner" to stand at the helm.

However, Klopp has turned down the offer after claiming he wants a long break from football.

LAFC boss Steve Cherundolo has also been considered after an impressive two-year stint in Los Angeles.

De la Fuente has a contract with Spain until July 2026 and is expected to lead his country to the World Cup after his Euros success.

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague stated that despite leading La Roja to the Euro 2024 title and last year's Nations League, De la Fuente's wages are "very, very low".

And the decision to contact the US is more likely to be about ensuring the Spanish FA "recognise his value".

Balague added however, that De la Fuente's fellow Spaniard, and Champions League-winning former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez, does have a firm interest in the role.
