ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle reported on WednesdayL that the that the LA Galaxy are looking to acquire defender Jorge Villafana from the Portland Timbers.
One proposal has the Timbers receiving the Galaxy’s No. 8 pick in the MLS SuperDraft. The Timbers would send Villafana and their draft pick to the Galaxy in exchange. Carlisle also noted that whatever happens, it is all contingent on the 31-year-old left back signing a new deal.
Carlisle wrote that the deal would satisfy both sides if completed.
The deal, if completed, would satisfy objectives for both teams. For the Galaxy, it would give them an established full-back to bolster a defense that was the second-worst in MLS in 2020 at 1.
