Barcelona on high alert to hijack Manchester City’s pre-agreement for Cavan Sullivan

Barcelona are closely monitoring the situation surrounding Philadelphia Union prodigy Cavan Sullivan as they look to hijack Manchester City’s pre-agreement for the teenager, according to a report by Sport Witness.​

The 17-year-old midfielder cannot complete a move to Europe until he turns 18 in January 2028. While Manchester City previously reached an early transfer agreement with the MLS outfit, recent legal developments surrounding the Premier League champions’ financial charges have introduced uncertainty into the arrangement.

​Sullivan’s agent, Dan Segal, previously hinted that the player’s future destination remains open depending on how the off-pitch matters unfold. Capitalizing on the situation, Barcelona sporting director Deco and manager Hansi Flick have placed the American youngster on their radar.

Should Manchester City face regulatory sanctions that disrupt the pre-existing deal, Barcelona are prepared to step in alongside other major European clubs to secure the rising midfielder’s signature.
