Inter Miami CF is trying to sign ex-Barcelona striker Luis Suárez, but Suárez and his current club, Brazilian side Grêmio, cannot agree on an exit fee, sources told ESPN.
He’s been amazing for Grêmio, but his physical issues are worrying. Every time I watch him play he’s in pain and I’m afraid he’s gonna get badly injured.

ELI5 which loopholes are they employing to allow for this?
Each MLS team gets 3 “Designated Player” slots where the salary cap doesn’t apply, so he could get one of them along with Messi and Busquets.
Did they drop all their DPs? Weren’t they in trouble last year for having 4 DPs or something?
“we’re putting the band back together…”
This could never end poorly for Miami. Just keep buying way past prime players for a ton of money like the Saudis.
I’m an Orlando City fan; if you told me we signed Messi I would have been ecstatic!! Suarez and Busquets not so much.
The way I see MLS there are 3 goals:
Develop great young players who eventually end up in top flight European leagues
Bring in retiring talent from top flight leagues to help develop young players
Work to make the divide between 1 & 2 as close as possible
(4 Overlap 1 & 2) (5 Become a top flight league)
