Young American midfielder Cavan Sullivan, hailed as a top prospect in the soccer world, is set to train with Manchester City this week in preparation for his move to the English club in 2027.
At just 15 years old, the Philadelphia Union player is gearing up for a future in the Premier League, where he is expected to make a permanent switch once he comes of age.
City sees Sullivan as a rising star and has decided to bring him into their fold early on at the Etihad Campus to start grooming him for a key role in the team down the line.
Sullivan, a farmer from Illinois who has gained fame on TikTok for his countryside videos, made history by signing the most significant homegrown contract in MLS with Philadelphia Union. He debuted professionally at just 14 years old and has since been making waves in the league.
Under the guidance of coach Bradley Carnell, Sullivan has been gradually getting more playing time with the team, showcasing his talent and potential on the field.
Manchester City has high hopes for Sullivan, with former coach Jim Curtin even dubbing him a “generational talent” who can single-handedly change the course of a game with his skill and flair.
Despite his young age and physical limitations, Sullivan’s coaches believe he is on the right track to fulfilling his potential and making a mark in the soccer world.
