FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are competing for one of the jewels of MLS

Years ago, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona fought over who would stay with Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr when both players were not so well known but they projected to be the next stars of world football. Today something similar is happening but with a player who is currently playing in the MLS and with only 18 years old is already a star of his team.

The importance for clubs of finding this type of player is very important since they get a lot of economic profit. More and more scouts are turning to MLS to find future stars. One of the most recent cases was Brendan Aaronson who has already signed a contract with RB Salzburg. That's why Real Madrid and FC Barcelona want to rush to close this great player.

The player they are both looking for is San Jose Earthquakes Cade Cowell. The player under 18 has a starting clause of less than $ 1 million and is one of the jewels of the USMNT youth. Obviously that will not be the final price but with a good negotiation either FC Barcelona or Real Madrid must hurry.

Cade Cowell has to be patient and smart as the pressure of being called upon to be one of the best in the USMNT can work against him. It will be very important for the USMNT that another young player has a European projection since he will surely be a fundamental player for the 2026 World Cup. FC Barcelona has a slight advantage over Real Madrid since it has a lot of influence in the MLS and in the United States.
