Barcelona site Pelikano claims that Barcelona central defender and Mexican international Rafael Márquez (29) could move in two years time to the Major League Soccer, the professional football league in the United States and Canada.
If Barcelona's bid for a team in the MLS succeeds (read more here) and the Miami-based team could start in 2010, Márquez would be able to attract latin-american fans to the team.
The current contract of Márquez expires in the summer of 2010. The MLS season starts in March. The Mexican defender could move to the new team and become a so-called "designated player".
The 'Designated Player' rule allows each MLS club to sign one player that would be considered outside of the teams' salary cap, allowing the teams to compete for star players in the international soccer market.

though i like marquez this sounds like a great idea
after seeing caceres yesterday id love to see him take marquez's place in the center he's fantastic at defending but is too slow for a full back
and marquez could benifit the miami team along with henry
Too early imo... they should extend him 1 or 2 years.
If this is true he would have to stay,extend his contract, with us for another two years and what does that tell us about Millito?
No i dont think this will happen. he has expressed that he would like to go back to his homeland mexico to play with the team he started with i doubt he'll go to that mickey mouse league the mls! o course after he is finished plying for barca which he still has goood form so it will be for another 3-4 years!
