[quote=Nova2Euro]Barcelona IS a bit of an exception, but Xavi Simons joined La Masia at 7 or 8 from Club Deportivo Thader in Spain, IIRC. So he was both a) not a teenager coming from another academy, and b) not recruited from out of the country. Maybe his moving to PSG Academy would be an actual example of a teenager moving academies, but PSG paid him $1 million/year, so probably not an academy contract. Alphone Davies moved as a teenager, but signed a first-team contract before moving and then signed a first-team contract with Bayern. Bottom line is that it's always better to have an organization pursue you than to try to push your way in. So this young man from PU isn't "looking at" clubs in Europe. They're looking at him, and they're not looking at him for an academy. He'll prove himself as a USL or MLS player and then make a move. I wish him the best! [/quote]
