When Dennis te Kloese hired Guillermo Barros Schelotto to manage the five-time MLS Cup champions, there was hope the former Boca Juniors manager could serve as a bridge to sign talented players from his native country.
The one-time league MVP has already lured playmaker Favio Álvarez on loan from Tucumán, and now Schelotto has pulled off a significant coup, luring a promising world-class talent who not too long ago attracted interest from the likes of Aresenal and PSG with a price tag upwards of $40 million.
After months of hard work, it has been confirmed the LA Galaxy have signed 23-year old Cristian Pavon on a loan deal using Targeted Allocation Funds.
