The 21-year-old Mexican defender, who made 114 appearances for Liga MX’s Santos Laguna, is under contract through 2027 with an option for 2028. He will occupy a U22 Initiative roster spot.
The Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) recently surprised by announcing the acquisition of the talented Mexican defender, Omar Campos, from Santos Laguna, making a bold move to strengthen their defense ahead of the 2024 Major League Soccer (MLS) season.
The club, which had the shortest offseason in its history, opened training camp this week with just 16 players under contract but GM John Thorrington says he’s working on filling the 14 vacant roster spots and remains in talks with Vela.
