Galaxy midfielder Mark Delgado completes LAFC move

Veteran midfielder Mark Delgado has moved from the LA Galaxy up the 110 to rivals LAFC for a total sum of $400,000 in allocation money, the two clubs announced Wednesday afternoon.

The 29-year-old is a two-time MLS Cup winner, most recently bringing home the trophy with the Galaxy in 2024, and has made over 300 regular season MLS appearances across stints with three different teams.

“Mark is a player we know well from his distinguished career in MLS,” LAFC Co-President & General Manager John Thorrington said.

“We believe Mark’s energy and technical abilities complement our midfield group incredibly well, and it is all the more exciting to add a player who grew up playing in Southern California to help us in our goal of contending for multiple trophies in 2025.”

The Galaxy were reportedly facing salary cap constraints heading into the 2025 campaign. The sales of Delgado and youngster Jalen Neal respectively could go some way towards alleviating their troubles.
