MLS and their 30 teams have shifted the roster-building picture towards younger, lesser-known talents, but that hasn’t stopped rumors of established European superstars from surrounding the league.
While Kevin De Bruyne and Thomas Müller are linked to the league, they’re joined by French World Cup winner Paul Pogba, who could make his way to the top flight of U.S. soccer after he returns from a shortened 18-month doping ban.
On April 28, The Athletic reported that D.C. United owns Pogba’s MLS rights by having him on their Discovery List, giving them negotiating priority and the first right of refusal with the former Juventus and Manchester United midfielder.
D.C. sit atop the list of potential MLS teams he could join, but which other clubs could entice the now 32-year-old?
