MLS To Let Teams Keep 100% Of Transfer Fees For Homegrown Players

MLS is "set to approve a new rule this offseason that will allow teams to keep" 100% of transfer fees for homegrown players, according to sources. This "incentivizes league owners to invest more in player development, and rewards the teams that do so successfully." Currently, MLS receives 25% of any homegrown transfer. In addition, the league is "weighing a proposal that would increase the cap of transfer revenue used as General Allocation Money." A source said that the proposal would also see that cap "increase incrementally from year to year" (FOURFOURTWO.com, 11/8).
