There are a few teams doing things like that although I don't know how much money they're putting into it. I know Tottenham has created club teams in Tallahassee youth soccer. I don't know if its just a test for them and how connected it truly is, but it seems it could be starting a bit.
There are a ton of clubs starting up academies in the US, and many already here: Chelsea is huge in metro Atlanta and all over from what I understand; Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool, Roma, and several more have US academies. It has been really booming the last 5 or so years.
