The City Group, spearheaded by Manchester City, has expressed interest in acquiring the services of American teenager Cavan Sullivan. At just 14 years old, Sullivan has caught the eye of the City Group with his impressive performances in the Philadelphia Union academy and his appearances for the U.S. youth teams.
Despite the keen interest from The City Group, other top clubs in Europe have also been monitoring Sullivan’s progress closely. However, sources indicate that The City Group is currently in pole position to secure the young forward’s future. The plan is for Sullivan to potentially join one of the City Group’s European clubs once he turns 16, with options including Belgian side Lommel SK.
While the long-term goal may be for Sullivan to eventually make his way to Manchester City, league rules dictate that he cannot join the Premier League champions until he reaches the age of 18. Reports suggesting that a deal has already been struck between Sullivan and The City Group have been labeled as premature, leaving the door open for the teenager to continue his development with Philadelphia Union.
Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin has been effusive in his praise for Sullivan, highlighting the young talent’s potential to make a significant impact in the world of football. Curtin’s endorsement of Sullivan as a future star further underscores the high regard in which the 14-year-old forward is held within the soccer community.
Cavan Sullivan’s burgeoning career has captured the attention of top clubs around the world, with The City Group leading the charge in securing his services. While the path to Manchester City may still be a few years away, Sullivan’s talent and potential have already set him on a trajectory towards stardom in the beautiful game. Watch this space as the young American continues to turn heads and make waves in the world of football.
