http://www.mls-rumors.net/ 2008/ 05/ report-barcany-barcamiami-fc-barcelona.html
This report comes to us courtesy of USA Today: "If you want to be a global brand, you have to be in the United States," said FC Barcelona vice chairman Ferran Soriano, the club's executive responsible for marketing. "We want to have a permanent presence here, and maybe that permanent presence will mean a team here someday." The concept is not unprecedented. Jorge Vergara, who owns Mexico's Chivas de Guadalajara, founded MLS club CD Chivas USA in Los Angeles in 2005. Previously we had reported that a European superclub was interested in perhaps being the owner/operator of a 2nd team in New York CIty or a return of MLS to Florida.
