In today's MLS news and rumors, Thiago Almada could return to Atlanta United, Angel Di Maria could be another star name to join Inter Miami and more.

Another Orlando post read: “Elegant in Triumph,” poking fun at Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham, who last week hit back at Minnesota United’s social media team, urging them to be “Elegant in Triumph” after gloating following their lopsided victory over Miami.

Lionel Messi wants MLS to investigate its referees. Inter Miami may want to look into how it keeps conceding copious amounts of goals instead.

Inter Miami’s problems are far from over. After dropping the Florida Derby to Orlando City, Lionel Messi offered a vague response about his MLS future, fueling doubt and concern among the club’s fans.
