United States legend Landon Donovan has taken another step toward Liga MX, declaring in a Twitter conversation with Leon president Jesus Martinez that he wants to join his club and will see him soon.
Rumors about Donovan signing with the Guanajuato club begin flying Wednesday, with Fox Deportes first reporting his return from retirement to play with La Fiera. Leon announced Wednesday the club had signed forward Giles Barnes, a Jamaica international who is represented by the same agency as Donovan.
The 35-year-old Donovan already returned from retirement once, playing nine matches for the LA Galaxy in 2016, and hinted at doing the same in Friday night's exchange with Martinez.
