Gianluca Busio used to hold bragging rights over Joe Scally.
Busio, at 15 years and 89 days, became the second-youngest player ever to sign an MLS contract last summer when he inked with Sporting KC. Only Freddy Adu, who signed the historic contract as a 14-year-old with DC United in 2003, had him beat.
“He would always brag to us that he was the second youngest [to sign] when we went to national team camp,” Scally joked about Busio, a friend, to The Post.
“Now, I beat him.”
By 217 days, Scally became the second youngest signing in MLS history when he inked a pro contract with New York City FC Wednesday, making him the club’s second academy player to do so.
