[Josh Gross] On a recent @HaFoSaFo it was mentioned that MLS roster construction rules prevent LAFC from signing a third Designated Player in 2026. I confirmed with LAFC Soccer Ops that this is accurate. Without getting into the weeds (used GAM), LAFC cannot acquire a DP this transfer window.
[Josh Gross] Igor Jesus suffered a setback in his ACL recovery and remains out as LAFC turns its full attention to MLS. No timetable for Igor's return at this point.
[Sacha Tavolieri] RSC Anderlecht have rejected a loan offer with an option to buy from Los Angeles FC for Adriano Bertaccini. Several other MLS clubs are also interested. Bertaccini has been made available for transfer by the Mauves only on a permanent move.
[Anel Avdić] Molde has made a bid for Amin Boudri in Los Angeles FC worth €3.3 million – around 36 million kronor. That is what the MLS club has declared it demands to sell the Swede in the summer window. Talks are ongoing.
[Kurt Badenhausen] LAFC finalized the sale of its 96.5% stake in Grasshopper Club Zurich to Bridge Football Group Switzerland AG. Markham Capital & Sports Advisory served as sell-side advisor on deal.
