Being Indian-born, I keep tabs on what's happening in the Indian football scene, I found this little snippet on the Indian Football website..
::: MLS interested to sign Indian players :::
The Major League Soccer (MLS) has expressed its interest to sign Indian players for the upcoming season. Indian internationals Sunil Chetri and Steven Dias have been already handed contracts by an US-based agent. Other players have been also approached in the last few days.
Midfielder Steven Dias has reportedly signed an pre-contract with the agent, before leaving for Hong Kong with the Indian national team. Meanwhile, striker Sunil Chetri has asked for a few more days, before giving a final nod.
The US pro-league MLS teams sign players based on the draft system. In a draft, teams take turns selecting from a pool of eligible players. When a team selects a player, the team receives exclusive rights to sign that player to a contract, and no other team in the league may sign the player.
