Despite being 34 and no longer in his prime, so to speak, Carlos Vela is reportedly close to a return with the club that saw him have immense success in his time in Europe - Real Sociedad. With his LAFC contract expiring at the end of this past MLS season, Vela is in search of a home to continue his career.
Despite rumors seeing him land in many different spots (re-sign with LAFC or another MLS club, Chivas, Cruz Azul), the version that has gained the most traction thus far is the one featuring a return to the La Liga side who currently sit in 6th overall with 32 points.
