The Chicharito transfer saga has been rumbling on for the LA Galaxy this week, and the latest comes from SI.com’s Grant Wahl, who reported on Friday morning that the Galaxy have completed a deal to sign Chicharito from Spanish club Sevilla, per unnamed sources. The report indicates a contract has been signed and Chicharito will be the highest-paid player in MLS.
Wahl is a reputable source, and the latest comes a day after reports from American sources claimed a deal could be on the rocks. Despite that, this pursuit of Chicharito, after years in which numerous MLS teams tried to chase the Mexican superstar, to no avail, appeared to be trending to a successful deal for the Galaxy all week.
