Manchester City beats Real Madrid to sign America's top talent
The club led by Pep Guardiola is about to close the signing of the American prodigy Cavan Sullivan.
Manchester City is one of the best teams when it comes to tracking the market to sign the best promises in the world of soccer. Guardiola knows that signing the young promises is the starting point to get the best players in the world and that's what it intends to do with one of the greatest promises of American football.
This was con8rmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who through his X account, said that the 'Citizens' managed to hire the 14-year-old soccer player, Cavan Sullivan, ahead of clubs such as Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. A news that, on the contrary, has not yet been o-cially communicated regarding the negotiations of the player born in 2009, who currently plays in the Philadelphia Union academy.
Cavan is the brother of Quinn Sullivan, one of the greatest prospects of the Philadelphia Union main team and the starting striker of the United States during the past U-20 World Cup, where he contributed an assist in four games. "Cavan is a fantastic young talent, I dare to make fun of him saying that I have never seen a child develop as much as I have seen Cavan.
He has his feet on the ground, all this extra fuss that is on him. It doesn't get to his head and I think that's the fantastic thing about him. It is what also allows him to come to our environment and continue to be great and bold," said Marlon Leblanc, coach of the Philadelphia Union II.
According to other media, Manchester City plans to send Cavan Sullivan to Lommel in Belgium at the age of 16 and then they will monitor his progress and transfer him to Manchester City at 18 if it continues its development.
