Manchester City has solidified its reputation as one of the most formidable football clubs globally through its relentless pursuit of excellence. Recent reports, including from the Athletic and other credible sources, reveal advanced negotiations between the club and 14-year-old American prodigy Cavan Sullivan, coveted by European giants such as Real Madrid, Dortmund, and Bayern Munich.
While the deal with Sullivan has yet to be finalized, key terms have reportedly been agreed upon. The young talent, currently part of the Philadelphia Union academy, faces restrictions on transferring to a professional team until he turns 18. City's strategy involves loaning him to Lommel, a Belgian minor league team owned by the "City Football Group," at age 16, leveraging the network of clubs under the holding company's umbrella.
Despite Philadelphia Union's efforts to retain Sullivan with a lucrative contract offer, the teenager appears inclined to join Pep Guardiola's ranks at Manchester City. Praised by scouts as possibly the best 14-year-old globally and lauded by his coaches for his humility and talent, Sullivan's potential impact on City's future is eagerly anticipated, with fans speculating about him eventually playing alongside his older brother, Kevin, for the Union senior team.
