One of the bigger more successful signings in the history of Major League Soccer happened in August of last year. Not every deal with an international talent has netted a championship like it has for the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Inter Miami has tried to do so with Lionel Messi. He and his teammates were eliminated from the MLS playoffs last fall by the eighth-seeded Atlanta United.
LAFC had signed Olivier Giroud last year. He was granted his release a few months ago, but not before his team was ousted from the MLS playoffs earlier than expected last season.
