Apparently, he did, doesn't mean he is safe. Someone posted a rumor he is heading elsewhere. He is a likely trade target to free up cap space because he is near 200k and is in a position we are three deep at.
Curious, as you seem to be far more knowledgeable about the mysteries of the MLS salary cap than most: if the rumoured trade happens with Palmeiras, is all/part of the money counted as allocation money? As an aside, it would be a shame to lose Camargo as I like his skill-set, but since we are so deep at the CM position it makes sense; fair play.
Where are people getting the Palmeiras rumor? That's one of the biggest clubs in Brazil. They get tons of coverage when someone there even sneezes. I haven't seen or heard anything about Camargo. He's a virtual unknown, but still.
If an MLS team sells a player, out of the percentage of funds they keep (anywhere from 1/3 to all, depending on player) up to $650K may be used as allocation funds. Edit: apparently loans fees received coan count as allocation as well but I don't remember seeing that posted on MajorLeagueSoccerSoccer's website.
EN is correct. The general average is the team will keep 2/3 of the transfer amount however it varies a bit based on how the player was originally acquired, whether there is still money due on the player (from previous transfer into the league) and how long the player has been here. I don't remember the exact chart. As to your question, yes the team will get that money back in allocation money up to the cap (and cash beyond that). But consider it clears cap space AND brings in a bit of allocation so it has a larger impact on the roster then a trade within the league.
Are you sure it is how the player was acqu8red originally? I thought it was how they're classified at the moment. For example the Dynamo would receive a different amount of money for selling Pina as a HG player vs as a senior player.
Your right but using the wrong words. GA and HG are considered "acquisition" tags, not roster designations. Meaning you acquire a player through the HG process are via Gen Adidas contract, but on the roster they are either: "on budget," off budget," or a DP. So when I say how a player was acquired I mean Homegrown versus normal procedure. *example is a HG player that could end up on budget because of a lack of off budget roster spots. Or a theoretical HG player that is signed as a DP. How they were acquired matters for allocation when sold/loaned regardless of what spot they are taking on a roster.
