Carlos Vela agrees to return to LAFC as it prepares for another MLS Cup run

LA Times  

Carlos Vela has agreed to a deal with LAFC that will return him to its roster for the final month of the MLS regular season, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations not authorized to speak publicly. Vela, the club’s original first-team signing in 2017, captained LAFC to two Supporters’ Shields, two trips to the MLS Cup final and one league championship. Instead the team invested in designated player Olivier Giroud and re-signed Denis Bouanga, the league’s reigning Golden Boot winner, to a contract extension that included a nearly $1.2-million raise to $3.6 million. Vela reportedly talked to the San José Earthquakes and drew interest from teams in Mexico last winter and spring, but his desire to return to LAFC was so strong he didn’t bother to clean out his locker at the team’s training facility on the campus of Cal State Los Angeles, suggesting talks between the team and the player’s agent never completely stopped. So we’re very comfortable with where we are now and the new guys coming in.” LAFC, second in the Western Conference standings, meets the conference-leading Galaxy on Saturday at Dignity Health Sports Park in a game that could go a long way toward determining home-field advantage for the playoffs.
