CARSON, Calif. -- Major League Soccer announced additional investment in club rosters on Wednesday, stating that each club will receive 100,000 per year for the next five years in additional cash to invest in their squad outside their roster budget.
Unlike normal allocation dollars, "targeted allocation money" can be used to help buy down players over a threshold. According to Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, the Galaxy plan to utilize the new funds to benefit the club.
"In our case, we're going to utilize it to the best of our advantage," Arena told reporters on Thursday. "Everyone decides how they want to do that. ... We understand the whole thing and we're going to try to utilize it the best that we can."
