Just a few days after Jonathan dos Santos was announced for the Los Angeles Galaxy, another El Tri standout could be making his way to Major League Soccer. And even to Los Angeles.
Forward Carlos Vela has chosen not to renew his contract with La Liga side, Real Sociedad, which makes Vela a free agent. Vela scored nine goals and registered five assists in 35 appearances this season, with an additional goal coming in Copa del Rey, Spain’s domestic cup. Real Sociedad finished in sixth place in La Liga, earning a spot in next season’s Europa League competition.
