We've already seen players make the jump from CPL -> MLS, only a matter of time until there's a player who makes the jump from being a U18 in CPL -> MLS or elsewhere. Once the system exists for long enough and once it shows its worth will it become a more obvious pipeline. It's imperative that CPL teams cash in on this chance when it comes.

In the first season of the league Pacific played a 16 year old Ahmed Alghamdi who was recently sold for $11 million. He left Pacific on a free transfer though, similar to Mo Farsi and some of the other top CPL products to date.

Indeed, which is why they need to start getting money for their transfers. Once that begins the league gets closer to becoming sustainable long-term. These things always need to start at the grassroots and need to work their way up.

They still get a percentage of the fee I believe.
