Your best bet is to send your young-lings to Spain if they fall under South / Central American nationality as they will gain EU nationality in only 2 years. The 3 year options left are Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Gibraltar and Serbia after they join in July 2022 so maybe load up those leagues and find a feeder club there for citizenship-gaining playing time.
