Major League Soccer (MLS) has changed in the last decade. The North American tournament, which was once a fixed destination for players at the end of their career, has now invested in footballers in very good form.

This time the two teams from Los Angeles, LA Galaxy and LAFC, are fighting over the hiring of the promising World Cup midfielder with Belgium, Axel Witsel, which currently disputes the always difficult German soccer league or Bundesliga.

The web portal specialized in transfers, CalcioMercato, reported in recent hours that managers of the Los Angeles teams have already contacted Witsel’s agent to find out what his goals are at the end of the season when his contract with Borussia Dortmund ends.

  • Midfielder creative and pivot of 01 years has lost prominence this season 2021-2022 in the club managed by Marco Rose and led by the youth and impetus of Erling Haaland, so it is unlikely that he will continue in the team of black and yellow .

    The LA Galaxy is a traditional club that has always hired great players, many of them in the twilight of their careers as David Beckham, Roy Keane or Steven Gerrard, as well as others in great shape such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic or the Mexican Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández.

    While LAFC is a much younger institution (it came to MLS in 2018), but that in a short time has left good results, led by the Mexican striker Carlos Ve the one that since its premiere in the highest category has been its franchise element.
