The world is learning about the big steps on players' development MLS has made in the last years. But there is an European top club that went a step beyond and is planning to hoard good young prospects. The known interest for Bryan Reynolds is not enough for Juventus, and the Italians want more. 

The signing of the USMNT player Weston McKennie was fantastic for Juventus's tactics, and he was a great reinforcement for the Cristiano Ronaldo's team. Aware of that and according to the Italian paper Tuttosport, the club wants more players from where he came, other three exactly.

One of them is the 17-year-old attacking midfielder Caden Clark, from New York Red Bulls. The other two have featured for USMNT young team after ditching Mexico national team: Efrain Alvarez (recently called up by Gregg Berhalter) and Ricardo Pepi close the list of MLS hot prospects followed by Juventus.

However, Reynolds might snub them given FC Dallas has already received a €9.2 million from AS Roma, and the American owners might have some influence on the transfer. Anyway, this whole situation says a lot about how MLS grew, and how USMNT is having a golden generation in its early stages.
