Galaxy transfer Juninho to Tijuana as salary dump continues

LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho has completed a transfer to Mexico's Club Tijuana for an undisclosed fee as the MLS club continues to dump salary.

Juninho's move comes in the same week that the Galaxy sent center-back Omar Gonzalez to Pachuca.

The deals will help the Galaxy free up salary cup space to sign former England international Ashley Cole, with a source confirming to ESPN FC they have offered the defender a non-designated player contract.

Juninho, 26, made 180 starts for the Galaxy since joining the club in 2010. The Brazilian initially joined on loan from Sao Paulo before signing a permanent deal three years later.
