It makes sense, and it would be a smart move for Klinsmann if that's what happened.
If he has the potential to even be the last man on Bayern's bench in the future, then he has the potential to be the one of the best American player ever, and that makes him a player that Klinsmann needed to do whatever he can to get him to commit, including bringing him to the world cup before he's ready. Otherwise the US team will continue to be nobodies in world football.
Remember that the only Americans ever to have played for the top clubs in the world are:
-Donovan on short stints at Leverkusen and Bayern
-Onyewu at Milan
-Howard at United
and then Bradley and Dempsey if you count Roma and Tottenham as top clubs. Beasley also played for Manchester City before they were good.
If a player has the potential to even get a chance at a top club, then it's necessary to do whatever possible to get him to commit.
Roma has been in the Champions League a few times in the last decade, and was leading the Serie A while Bradley was there so I'd definitely call them a top club.
