Premier League champions Manchester City have successfully secured an up-and-coming talent from the United States, beating out competition from top European clubs. This exciting news comes at a time when Manchester City is focusing on the United States, as Pep Guardiola and his team prepare for their pre-season tour across the Atlantic this summer.

During their four-match series on the eastern coast of the United States, Manchester City will face off against Celtic, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Chelsea in iconic arenas such as Yankee Stadium in New York City. The growing significance of the USA in football has led Manchester City to win the race for a promising young talent emerging from the country, despite interest from leading clubs like Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich.

Reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City is close to finalizing a deal for USA wonderkid Cavan Sullivan, a 14-year-old talent nicknamed ‘Captain America’ from Philadelphia Union. The plan is for Sullivan to potentially be loaned to City Football Group club Lommel SK when he turns 16, although details are still being determined. Due to not having an EU passport, Sullivan will not be able to play for Manchester City until he turns 18.

Manchester City has a history of connections to the USA, with players like goalkeeper Zack Steffen and women’s football stars Carli Lloyd and Abby Dahlkemper having previously featured for the club. The move to sign Cavan Sullivan highlights Manchester City’s continued interest in tapping into the talent pool in the United States and expanding their reach in the world of football.
