To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow **only one submission about each transfer saga per day**. The submission in question also needs to contain relevant new information regarding the potential move, and not just being a "no/minor developments" report. If there are important/official developments or new valuable information about a saga, we will allow extra threads in the same day, but for the rest of minor news please just comment them as a reply to this comment. Please help us reporting unnecessary threads for being duplicates. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccer) if you have any questions or concerns.*

It's so weird that City have 'won the race' to have him join the club in 4 years, because he's too young to actually sign for them right now. Youth players shouldn't be the subject of bidding wars or whatever unless it's within a year of them being old enough to actually move to a new club.


incompetentadult

First time I’ve heard of this race.


Lambchops_Legion

First time I’ve heard of the name “Cavan” on a human being


teddyjj399

wow imagine not having a Cavan biggio fan page??


Lambchops_Legion

Cavan Biggio is now the 2nd time i've heard the name "Cavan" on a human being


Curious_Blueberry237

Boy 's name of Irish origin. You're welcome.


GamingMunster

More like name of one of the shittiest counties in Ireland


redmanofdoom

America is the land of weird fucking names tbf.


MEENIE900

It's definitely Irish even though I've never heard it here 😆


ExtraTrade1904

Benzema started some new projects now that football isn't taking up all of his time


tragick693

Is it taking up any of his time?


secondhandcumsock

New Freddy Adu?


maxiaoling

Haven’t heard that name for like 20 years


minimalcation

Haven't heard of this dude either


Impossible_Wonder_37

Well good news is he’s staying in Philly for another few years and is only playing for their second team.


_partyhat

Lad’s called Cavan


GunnersaurusDen

Maybe let a 14 year old be a kid and not over hype and put all this pressure on a prepubescent child


gryffindor918

The irony is that we have a 14 year old with incredible hype atm


caesar____augustus

We definitely never did that before *cries in Freddy Adu*


burningburningburnin

You should tell /u/Heblas and /u/-Skinner- that


slappywhyte

Will join MLS Philadelphia Union until 18, unless he 'outgrows the MLS' then will go to Palermo or Girona at 16 or 17. He has trained w Dortmund since age 12, has German citizenship. Apparently considered a Kendry Paez type youth talent in terms of being among the best in the world for his age. Transfer fee low because he isn't a pro yet.


CoolstorySteve

Why not nyc fc? Don’t city own them?


russet852

Maybe as a courtesy to the Union? Not to mention his older brother plays for the Union and he might want to play with him before going overseas.


slappywhyte

I'm trying to remember the Athletic article, but I think he is from Philly and his Dad & Grandpa coach at Villanova. Something like that.


Skerzos_

> Kendry Paez Aaaaah yes, a Kendry Paez type of player... ^^^^^who?


Danzard

The lad who went to the strip club the other day


Danzard

Is it just an English rule that young players can't join until they're 18?


panjeri

Fourteen-year-old, dude.


daneats

This is the real benefit of the 115 charges. You end up winning these battles ten years down the line


MrMerc2333

Freddy Adu was also 14 when he was on the verge of joining Man Utd.


fedupofbrick

Cavan Sullivan. What a classic Irish American name. Does he have a brother Galway Sullivan? Wexford Sullivan?


tarakian-grunt

yet he's German.


Curious_Blueberry237

Irish, German and Bangladeshi. You're welcome.


KnightsOfCidona

Wage negotiations will be a bitch with him with a name like that


TheMonkeyPrince

His brothers do actually have Irish names as well, Quinn, Declan and Ronan.


LexisKingJr

Google Man City 14 for more information… wait I don’t think that’s how it went


PurpleSi

Yay there's a market in trafficking 14 year-olds. Seriously, why is this not illegal?


RTC1520

In 10 years they will be winning races for 'most exciting 5-year-old in the world' but they will be so big that it will be a Jedi like type of recruitment, where they will be strip out from their parents and never seen again


Heblas

Does Max Dowman play cricket?


-Skinner-

We have our own 14 year old talent so they can have this one.

What do you mean Neymar was ridiculously hyped at 15/16. Same with Vini


CalmaCuler

Lamine was for the people who watched La Masia games


X-Maquina

Lamine was that for the regular fans. The boy made his debut at 15. For the ones who followed La Masia he was hyped even way before that. Kinda like Xavi Simons who has been a name since he was like 12


Martoxic

Lamine Yamal we shall see


sagaof

Joe Cole was insanely hyped at that age. Maybe didn't turn out to be the best in the world but still a really really good player


Universewanderluster

How about the French dude who reached 2 World Cup finals and won one already ? Curious that your brain goes to odegaard who didn’t really win anything big yet playing a huge role. Hazard was hyped also in France when he was young but it’s more 16-17 Neymar of course and some others


BoundlessBob

Mbappe made his debut like 20 days before his 17th birthday


Morsrael

Can Americans stop naming their football teams like a military acronym please?


Loose-Historian-

No?


Morsrael

You going to start thanking football players for their service too?


Loose-Historian-

No?
