Great. That's the last piece of the development puzzle they've been missing. Now they have a place to further develop all the amazing teenagers they produce that don't go to Europe.

The New York Red Bulls are a prime example of this trend in MLS, and it will only mean good things for the league.

Major League Soccer is in the final stages of adding a new pot of money intended to incentivize teams to identify and sign young international players who could be sold at a profit in the future. The “Youth Transfer Fund,” as it’s being called by people familiar with the discussions, would give teams a large chunk of money to sign young players from outside the league—either international or young American players with non-MLS affiliated clubs, multiple league sources told The Athletic.

Sources said the new rule, which is in the final stages of development, will allow teams to use $3 million through the end of the 2022 season. The fund would be restricted to players aged 20 or younger, and the goal is for those players to come to the league, develop, and potentially be sold for a profit in later seasons.

A source confirmed the fund is expected to go into effect when the secondary transfer window opens on July 10.

Mixed feelings about this. Might be good for the league but I don’t want Americans to be incentivized to come back to MLS early in their careers.

I don't think it will do that.

That’s good but he needs to start getting first team minutes.

Reported on another board that Theoson-Jordan Siebatchue was approached by USMNT about availability for call up. Also it was noted that he was called up for the French U-21 team but is no longer on the roster.

Matt Miazga has scored for #Vitesse against #Utrecht in the 2nd leg of the #UEL Playoffs Final. Powerful near post header off a corner, though the GK should've done much better. Vitesse lead 2-0 at half-time, and 5-2 on aggregate.

What a first professional goal from Reggie Cannon, 19, who I think has a great shot to be the starting right back for the U.S U-23. This goal showcases a strong left foot
