HunglikeHodor ich dachte, dass Wikipedia da noch aktuell ist, das ist von maximal drei Designated Player die Rede (Auszug Regeländerung 2010):
Teams can pay a $250,000 “luxury tax” for the right to sign a third Designated Player. This $250,000 would be distributed equally to all MLS teams that have not signed a third Designated Player in the form of allocation money.
Der Betrag ist halt gar “nix”, genauso wie die Gehälter im internationalen Vergleich:
The average salary for MLS players is $373,094, lower than the average salaries in England’s second-tier EFL Championship ($420,000 in 2015), the Netherlands’ Eredivisie ($445,000), or Mexico’s Liga MX ($418,000 in 2015). The league’s minimum player salary increased in 2017 to $65,000 for most players, and roster players #25–30 saw their minimum salary increased to $53,000.
Aber es gibt ja auch noch andere Sonderregeln, weil ’Murica fuck yeah, also vielleicht zieht eine von denen in Miamis Fall:
MLS teams can also obtain allocation money, which is money that the team can use on player salaries that does not count against the cap, and teams can earn allocation money in several ways, such as from the transfer fees earned by selling players to teams in other leagues. MLS teams can also use Targeted Allocation Money (often referred to as TAM), an initiative announced in 2015. Teams can use TAM funds to attract high-profile players by “buying down” contracts of players to below the Designated Player level. High-profile players for which TAM funds were used include Hector Villalba, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Giorgio Chiellini.
