Los Angeles FC hope to have a "long-term partnership" with Gareth Bale, after the Wales captain agreed to join the MLS side on a free transfer.
LAFC co-president John Thorrington said negotiations with Bale had not been "a financial conversation" and expects the deal to be finalised "within 10 days".
"We don't have a firm date," Thorrington confirmed.
"Our transfer window opens in early July when we can register [players]. We still have to go through paperwork, hopefully a week or the next 10 days to take care of that, to welcome him and his family to LA, get up to speed.
