Det er feil. MLS har blitt en liga som utvikler ung talent som Alphonso Davies (Bayern) og Almiron (Newcastle) for å selge dem til Europa, ikke gamle pensjonister. Ja, det finnes eldre europeere, men det er unntagelsen, ikke regelen.
It's not a league built on ageing stars looking for one last run, but rather young talents just beginning their journeys towards the top.
It's a league built around the Ricardo Pepis, Caden Clarks and Tajon Buchanans of the world: young Americans and Canadians emerging from two growing soccer nations.
It's also a league built around players like Talles Magno, Valentin Castellanos and Brenner: South American starlets that have chosen to take their next steps Stateside.
Inspired by the sales of Alphonso Davies and Miguel Almiron, clubs are now drawn into this new race of who can best identify the next multimillion-dollar player, one whose sale could change the trajectory of a club forever.
