Do you mean discovery rights? There were rumours that Sporting KC had Messiās rights, but apparently some players are āundiscoverableā so no one does. Philadelphia managed to have Zlatanās (I think it was them) and actually got some cash from LA Galaxy as a result.
Itās further complicated by the fact that the league can intervene and send players to teams against their wishes.
Obviously this doesnāt help with the leagues joke league/retirement league image. One of the main reasons MLS doesnāt really resonate with the Latino audience is covets is credibility. TV audiences have plateaued, despite match attendance being up. Current deal is only worth 90m a season split between 26 teams.
