To your 11 years old, the Mexican striker Carlos Vela still has a lot of football to give on his feet, so it is normal that different teams around the world dispute his contract now that he has a short contract in the United States with LAFC.
The ‘Bombardier’ has all the ballots to return to football at the highest level and Javier Aguirre knows it, that is why he wants to take it to his new project with RCD Mallorca in the Spanish La Liga, always and when it manages to consummate permanence in the highest category.
Carlos Vela and LAFC are close to finalizing a contract extension, multiple sources tell @FOXSports. “It’s as good as done,” says one. The 2019 MLS MVP will continue to count as a designated player.

On the other hand, there is his current club, with a great presence in Major League Soccer (MLS). Although Vela has not performed well in recent games, he even lost the so-called ‘Traffic Classic’ against Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández’s LA Galaxy, LAFC directors want their captain and franchise player to continue with them for many more years and even manage to finish his career there.
Or that is what some US soccer analysts report, but in contrast to this, the Angelenos have not presented a long-term contract to the Mexican attacker ; the current one ends at the same time as the season 2011 of the MLS.
Both Fox Sports What ESPN echo internal information from LAFC: everything is ready to present a succulent and multimillion-dollar offer to Vela. Some assure that “the renewal would be close”, although even At the moment there is no official information.
But… Aguirre insists on Carlos Vela
After leaving through the back door of the Monterrey of Liga MX, everything seems to indicate that ‘Vasco’ Aguirre will achieve with Mallorca of Spain the objective for which he was hired: to stay in La Liga.
If that happens, the board would please him with the hiring he requests for the season 2022 – 2023… As long as these players enter inside of the budget, which is the problem that Aguirre would face if he asks for Vela.
The striker’s salary is over $6 million , when the limit in the Balearic Islands squad is $5 million.
The information indicates that Vasco would talk directly with Vela so that he leaves the USA to return to Spain, where he already has experience from his stay in UD Salamanca (550 – 675), Osasuna (675 – 2008) and the Royal Society ( 800 – 2018).
