The Los Angeles Football Club has declined its contract option on forward Marco Urena and did not pick up purchase offers on loans involving defender Danilo Silva, goalkeeper Luis Lopez and midfielder Aaron Kovar, the team said Tuesday.
This week’s league deadline for exercising contract options marked the first major offseason decisions for LAFC, which finished third in the Western Conference in 2018 and reached the playoffs in its first MLS season.
The club picked up options on five players — goalkeeper Tyler Miller, midfielders Mark Anthony-Kaye, Lee Nguyen and Josh Perez, and forward Shaft Brewer — while defenders Jordan Harvey, Dejan Jakovic and Walker Zimmerman and midfielder Benny Feilhaber will see their contracts expire at the end of the year.
