What Does His Signing Mean?

Major League Soccer has been known as a “retirement league” for the majority of its existence. But with Lorenzo Insigne coming to the league while still in his prime, this could be the turning point the league has wanted for a while. The likes of Kaka, David Villa, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, among many others, have played in the MLS, but that was at the tail-end of their careers.
