There's a recent interest from european teams in youth US players. Bryan Reynolds (FC Dallas) could go close to $10M to Juventus. There's an actual bidding war for this player that is probably being over valued.
This is raising questions on building a pipeline to cover costs through the now defunct Development Academy. This is just a rumor but the demand for young US players is definitely a fact. There are US owners in Italy and it helps with the recent acquisitions of US players: McKennie, Reyna, Canon, Aaronson, Adams, and several others.
Report: Juve back as frontrunners for Bryan Reynolds
