MLS growth process

why hasn't an any MLS owner thrown ridiculous money at a young star from Europe to come play for them? I know it would cost a shitload of money but the investment would be worth it and that player would become the instant face of American soccer and get mass endorsements while in Europe he would lag behind messi and Ronaldo. Maybe throw a ridiculous offer out for bale or lewandowski, make them say no

Because they don't want to throw away Champions League games?

Could MLS money legitimately beat out the ridiculous money these guys already make? People overlook the fact that soccer is Europe is all about ridiculous money.

They will say no and not think twice about it.

money being equal most Europeans would rather play in the US than in China, so I don't buy this "they would say no"
maybe not the level of a Bale or Lewandowski but you could do it
the thing is, MLS doesn't really want it. there are no MLS owners, they are investor/operators, and they are much more interested in protecting their monopoly than they are actually growing the game.

It would essentially kill those guys careers if they came to the MLS
It would get old seeing them run circles around MLS defenses

MLS is a business and right now mls does not have the revenue numbers from TV. The growth of mls is a careful and measured one that steadily progresses. A big name is bought here and there, a Giovinco or a Beckham, but the emphasis and investment has been focused on infrastructure (stadia and training grounds) and academies since an essential reboot ten years ago. Community involvement and academy development are being used to grow the league from the ground up as part of a long term strategy.

Bc the nasl did the exact same thing and killed domestic US soccer for 20 years

Because the number of guys that would have the impact you describe could probably be counted on one hand.
A guy like Lewandowski coming to MLS wouldn't register with the mainstream sports fan at all.
