A global journey…
The Major League Soccer has announced a change in its policy of the designated player rule. This step has been taken to make the clubs spend on young soccer talent who possess the potential of turning into international stars rather than on the aging players.
According to Todd Durbin, the soccer league's executive vice president, these changes will help in the reduction of salary of a young international designated player. This rule will be effective from the 2012 season. The rule states that soccer players of age 20 or younger will be charged only $150,000 against the team's salary budget and $200,000 if the players are between 21 and 23. These values are down from $335,000 which was the charge of all designated players.
Durbin added that in order to continue the growth of the league the influx of new young players was a must. With the reduction in DP money the soccer clubs will probably be more interested in signing new talent from next year.
