Alejandro Bedoya's recent move to the Philadelphia Union is the latest transfer to be drawn into the dispute with youth clubs over training compensation and solidarity payments.
Earlier this month, U.S. international Bedoya completed a move from French side Nantes to MLS, with sources telling ESPN FC that the fee was $1 million.
Because Bedoya's transfer took place before the expiration of his contract with Nantes, FIFA stipulates that his youth club, Florida's Weston FC, is entitled to a cut of the transfer fee paid by MLS, according to the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP), in what is called a solidarity payment.
