The LA Galaxy announced on Wednesday they have acquired a 2022 international roster slot from Charlotte FC, in exchange for $200,000 in general allocation money.
This move is presumably a preparatory move for an expected signing in the summer transfer window, which opens up officially on Thursday. Head coach Greg Vanney has said the club was near to signing at least one player and possibly two. Corner of the Galaxy reported on Wednesday the player the Galaxy “have been targeting” is Uruguayan midfielder Gaston Brugman, who has played his entire career, aside from last season, in Italy, with a stint this past campaign in Spain with Real Oviedo.
