MLS chief Garber: Kane joining would be 'fulfilment of a dream'
Post
๐ฐ MLS commissioner Don Garber has openly invited Harry Kane to the US, calling the idea "the fulfilment of a dream".
๐ Key points
๐บ๐ธ Garber said he would love to see Kane play in MLS.
๐ญ He called it the fulfilment of the dream of building a proper league.
๐ Kane, 33, has spoken of wanting to be an NFL kicker one day.
โญ Garber credited Beckham and Messi with raising the league's profile.
๐ด Kane is in talks over a new contract at Bayern.
๐ What happened
๐ฃ๏ธ "I'd love for him to do that. I think, for me, it is the fulfilment of the dream that we had to build a proper soccer league that would drive a soccer nation," Garber said. "We wanted to create something that would have the Harry Kanes of the world say 'I'd kind of like to play in MLS.'"
โญ He said David Beckham's move to LA Galaxy in 2007 gave the league credibility and Lionel Messi's arrival at Inter Miami in 2023 made it a global phenomenon. Garber, commissioner since 1999, steps down at the end of the year.
๐ Kane has talked about playing on for many years like his friend Tom Brady, and has never hidden his dream of kicking in the NFL. A move to the US would fit that ambition.
๐ By the numbers
โข Kane's age: 33
โข England: 125 caps, 91 goals
โข Beckham joined MLS in 2007, Messi in 2023
๐ญ Why it matters
With Kane negotiating a new Bayern deal, a move is not imminent. But a public invitation from the head of MLS keeps the US firmly in the frame as a late-career destination. Bayern return to action at Augsburg on 10 October.
