The payment approach in football in the United States is markedly different to that which occurs in the Premier League
Major League Soccer does things differently when it comes to paying players and there is a particular set of regulations when it comes to the process.
One of the most notable aspects of MLS, which sets it apart from its European counterparts, is the fact that a salary cap is in place.
Players are paid centrally by the league and as such certain rules apply. However, there are some exceptions too, which facilitate the acquisition of the more expensive talents.
