MLS is on the verge of a potential lockout after the league has reached an impasse while negotiating with the MLS Player Association on terms to resume play in Orlando, according to ESPN.
The players union voted Sunday to approve a counteroffer to MLS on economic concessions for the 2020 season, but the league reportedly doesn't intend to budge on its previous offer. According to ESPN's Herculez Gomez, the MLS has given players until noon Tuesday to accept their final proposal, and if they reject it, they will be locked out.
The MLSPA released a statement saying its proposal includes salary reductions across the entire player pool, additional concessions to existing and future terms of the collective bargaining agreement and for the current CBA to be extended for one year to 2025.
