A pre-agreement for 17-year-old United States midfielder Cavan Sullivan to join Manchester City via the City Football Group in 2028 is now uncertain. A verdict related to 115 charges against the English club has created legal uncertainty over the transfer. This has led other clubs to become interested. The player's agent, Dan Segal, acknowledged the preliminary agreement but stated that the future is uncertain.
Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona are observing the situation and are prepared to act if the contract is voided. Real Madrid is also reportedly observing the situation. PSG's interest is consistent with a broader strategy of recruiting the world's most promising young talents. In the current Major League Soccer season, Sullivan has scored 7 goals and provided 5 assists in 24 appearances, and he has made 1 appearance for the United States national team. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €10.00m.
