The reputation of MLS as a hotbed of talent is on the rise, with teams in Europe regularly dipping into the market to grab emerging talents at a reasonable price.
The current record sale for an MLS player stands at the $26 million fee Newcastle United paid Atlanta United for midfielder Miguel Almiron back in 2019. However, that record could be broken this summer if the Five Stripes eventually cash in on the highly-rated Thiago Almada.
The talented attacking midfielder has been in impressive form so far this season, notching a healthy six goals and eight assists in just 16 outings so far this term. This comes after the 22-year-old burst onto the scene in the US last season following his league record $16 million switch from Vélez Sarsfield.
