Amazing to look at the European tables right now and see all the Americans in Champions League spots for next year... Man City: Steffen Chelsea: Pulisic Bayern: Richards Leipzig: Adams (and Marsch) Wolfsburg: Brooks Dortmund: Reyna Barcelona: Dest Salzburg: Aaronson And at Juventus, McKennie is within a point.
You can kinda add in Caden Clark to Leipzig because he’ll be moving there in January Potentially we also have Bryang Kayo for Wolfsburg as well. It’s a stretch but maybe Uly Llanez or Kobe Hernandez-Foster, but Kayo is by far the closest For Red Bull Salzburg it’s a small chance but Bryan Okoh could potentially move up to the first team next season
Here is what I have for 2021/2022 YA participation in European competitions at the moment. Obviously some of these players like Miazga and CCV are not expected to be playing at the clubs they are contracted to in and their may be loans or transfers during the summer transfer window. Please add anyone I missed. I didn't list any YAs that are cap tied for other national teams. Jens Cajuste (Midtjylland) is for instance participating in Champions League qualifying and Thomas Delaney is part of Borussia Dortmund's squad. My intention was to list players with either current first team contracts or those that have player for their club's first team in a competitive match (i.e. Richie Ledezma or Konrad apparently do not have first team contracts).
