[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you knock Cavan Sullivan? He is a 16-year old kid who has had great success because he is gritty, hard working, and talented. Why attack a player who is working hard to be successful?

Cause he knows way more than Man City!  How does he find the time?[/quote]

When he suits up for man city let me know.  Won't happen...[/quote]

What a Hater hahahaha[/quote]

I don't think there is any hate.  Just exposing the realities of the situation that most of you dont understand because your knowledge of football comes from the US and the MLS.  [/quote]

Cavan Sullivan was selected by Manchester City as a good youth player that they see to have obvious strong potential, or they wouldn't sign him.

What have you said to make that not a fact and what does it have to do with US knowledge? [/quote]

Man city didn't sign cavan Sullivan.  Philadelphia Union did with an "agreement" that he would move to city at 18 if certain conditions are met.  Mainly,is he good enough.  He could have gone to a city affiliate at 16 because he has a euro passport but he didn't.  Ever wonder why?  Because he's not ready to play at that level.  So, its more Philadelphia Union selected cavan Sullivan as a talented player and did a remarkable job of convincing city that they should take a flier on him if he's ready at 18 which is completely unions responsibility to develop him.  City is not really involved.  Just will get a player if he pans out.  If not, it doesn't matter to city they paid no money for it.  [/quote]

Cavan Sullivan has an agreement to join Manchester City when he turns 18 (in 2027), after signing a record MLS homegrown contract with the Philadelphia Union in May 2024, which includes a significant transfer fee ($2M-$5M) and a sell-on clause for Philly. While he's not officially a Man City player yet, he trains with them periodically, and the deal ensures his development in the City Football Group, potentially with other European sides if he outgrows the Union sooner.

Key Details of the Contract:
Union Contract: Sullivan signed the biggest homegrown deal in MLS history with the Union, earning around $500,000 annually, reported to be the highest for a homegrown player.

Man City Transfer: The deal allows him to join Manchester City once he's 18 in 2027, per FIFA rules.

Financials: Manchester City will pay the Union a seven-figure sum, potentially up to $5 million, with add-ons.
Sell-On Clause: Philadelphia retains a significant sell-on percentage for future transfers.

Flexibility: If Sullivan's development surpasses MLS before 18, he could move to another City Football Group (CFG) team in Europe.[/quote]
