Juventus star strongly linked with move to MLS Calciomercato Mattocks vows to reach new heights at DC United gleaner "seriously" MLS Board of Governors set for Thursday meeting Cincinnati
Are Orlando City SC looking to sign this Argentine international? Orlando City UK FC Cincinnati is ready for Major League Soccer, but is MLS ready for us? WCPO The most over hyped player, let's see if the Argentine coach can sort this out .
He's signing with Minnesota. Also, thanks for taking Harrison off our hands. Very nice of his dad to do that.
Oh, heck no. We'd do better putting me in the midfield. Of course, I'm only 60 years old, so I'm 3 years younger than Freddy...
Claudio Marchisio. 32 in January. An injury-prone midfielder at Juventus currently just outside the starting lineup. I'm a little more positive about him than the usual rumored player because solid two-footed midfielders are always hard to find. But as per usual, there's no specific team in mind or specific source named. "Considering MLS" seems to be a ploy in negotiations for playing time or a new contract more often than not.
Considering MLS = Considering Seattle, Toronto, either Los Angeles side, either New York side, or possibly Orlando.
If he speaks French, Montreal as well. But there's really not that many spots for aging Euros who want lots of money. He's making €3M ($3.5M) now, and I don't think he gets a raise coming to MLS. He's not old yet, but he's not nearly as famous as Kaka, Pirlo, Villa, or Schweinsteiger, either.
I don't know if this was reported anywhere else, but just saw this... LAFC sign new DP https://www.lafc.com/diego-rossi
And there's the issue for a player like him regarding coming to this league. His market salary is larger elsewhere. He's not famous enough to get the $5-7M MLS contract, but he's skilled enough that he can make more than a second tier MLS DP.
Like Pirlo, he might be lost in MLS though. They were similar players somewhat although Pirlo at Juventus was much better. Neither player will dazzle you with amazing runs and running is the name of the game in MLS.

He'll be the 5th scoring option on AUFC (maybe even 6th considering how often Garza joins the attack) and will be relied upon to simply be a box-to-box midfielder that helps with both possession and counter-attacks. He'll play the #8 spot currently occupied by Carlos Carmona but will make AUFC even more devastating going forward. No one is expecting big goal or assist numbers out of him as AUFC has plenty of other players who will fill the box score, but he'll improve the starting 11 while pushing some combination of Carmona, Larentowicz, and Gressel to sub and spot-starter duty which means the team also will have more depth. This article explains it very well... https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/12/13/baer-darlington-nagbes-arrival-atl-sends-message-rest-mls And by the way, most of those incentives will never pay out. He's not going to win league MVP and he'll never hit those goal or assist numbers. The only incentive that could pay out is $250K if Atlanta wins the MLS Cup and in that case, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to pay it. Otherwise, Portland may collect zero of those incentives and Nagbe is acquired for just over $1 million in allocation money, 90% of which is paid in 2018, meaning AUFC still has almost all of their 2019 TAM and GAM to make future deals. In short, I love this deal, especially if they land Barco. By the way, if they somehow miss on Barco, they could still conceivably bring Asad back.
LAFC should be an interesting club to follow. LA Galaxy have some real competition for attention in that market now.
