What’s up! I’m an MLS and USMNT insider with The Athletic as well as Apple TV. I’ve previously written for MLSSoccer.com as well as The Guardian. I’m here to answer some questions starting at 11am ET.
Let’s get after whatever you want. Messi in Miami, Phil Neville in Portland, USMNT stuff, who’s next to come to MLS, mustache questions, all good.
Do MLS contracts have a release clause? I think the answer is “no” as MLS seems to go with highest offer gets a player (similar to NBA, MLB, etc)
Why do some players seem to get stuck in MLS purgatory when it comes to transfers? Cowell, Jesus, Miles - they seem to want to go to Europe and there are teams that want them, but the transfer doesn’t/hasn’t happen(ed)
