It's a huge week in Major League Soccer as the summer transfer window has finally opened.
That means teams will be debuting their latest signings this weekend, with Gareth Bale, Giorgio Chiellini and Lorenzo Insigne all officially members of their new clubs.
Bale and Chiellini have signed to LAFC, and are eligible to debut in "El Trafico" against the LA Galaxy. While Bale's status for Friday's match remains unknown, Chiellini has been training with the Los Angeles side since last week and should see action against Chicharito Hernandez and the Galaxy.
Meanwhile in Toronto, Insigne's participation in training has been limited after the Italy international missed out on his nation's June fixtures due to a calf injury. TFC fans can likely expect little more than a cameo, at best, from the highest-paid player in MLS history this weekend, but countryman and former Italy teammate Domenico Criscito appears ready to play a big role for the Reds right away.
Elsewhere, several other teams will also be debuting their latest acquisitions this weekend, including Atlanta United (Juan José Purata), the Colorado Rapids (Sam Nicholson), Columbus Crew (Cucho Hernandez), D.C. United (Martin Rodriguez), Houston Dynamo (Hector Herrera and Thiago Fernandes), Inter Miami (Corentin Jean), New England Revolution (Giacomo Vrioni) and Sporting Kansas City (William Agada).
