Juventus, who are struggling with off-the-field issues, and reigning Serie A champions AC Milan are ahead in the race to sign the starlet. However, it won’t be a straightforward job, as the player signed a new contract extension last year. The contract runs until 2025 with an option of one more year. It will be interesting to see how things pan out in the summer.
Meanwhile, the player who has represented the US so far is eligible to play for Mexico. Although, he hasn’t been called up by Mexico yet. Despite playing for USMNT, Cowell can play for Mexico without applying for FIFA’s One Time Switch as he has just played unofficial friendlies. It will remain to see what the 19-year-old decides in the future.
