- France midfielder ‘should have been a designated player’
- David Beckham’s team loan player out to comply with rules
David Beckham’s Inter Miami was found by Major League Soccer to have violated league budget rules with its signing of France midfielder Blaise Matuidi. MLS said in a Friday statement that final results of the investigation, including possible sanctions, will be announced “in the near future.”
The league has concluded that Matuidi, who joined the team from Juventus last August, “should have been classified as a designated player” for the 2020 season because of his salary.
