3 Real Madrid players who could enhance the LA Galaxy roster
1. Luka Modric
First on our list is the maestro of the midfield, Luka Modric. Despite approaching the twilight of his illustrious career at 39, Modric's unparalleled vision and control of the game echo the legendary impact Zlatan Ibrahimović had during his spell with the Galaxy.
Two out of three LA Galaxy designated players have started the 2024 MLS season well. Ghanaian international winger Jospeh Painstil has scored one goal and provided one assist, starting every game so far this season. Midfielder Riqui Puig has lived up to the expectation, scoring twice from midfield. Gabriel Pec is having a slower start to the season but he will pull through given time.
So, Puig is the standout performer for the Galaxy. It really doesn't come as a surprise since he's one of the most profitable assets available to Galaxy. Although, do not get it twisted - The club should do everything in their power to keep the Spaniard in the roster.
This Real Madrid legend would be a dream LA Galaxy designated player
Galaxy were one of the founding members of the MLS, given it's name due to Los Angeles attracting the stars of the world. As one of the breakout stars in La Liga, Puig was attracted to the club, which got me thinking... Why don't LA Galaxy chase Luka Modric?
Luka Modric is nearing the end of his Real Madrid contract. The Croatian midfielder remains one of the best midfielders in the world and in his prime, this was undisputed. As a player who has been there and done it all, he would be a dream asset to the LA Galaxy roster and, of course, provide great mentorship to Puig (not that he needs much mentoring).
Given Luka Modric's exceptional qualities and European stardom, he is more than likely going to require a designated player spot. This is something which could be arranged upon the expiry of his contract, with the secondary transfer window opening in the middle of July and running until August.
Jumping ahead and without delving into the logistics of the signing, Luka Modric would be an exceptional signing for the Galaxy. Of course, many factors go into this but in a dream world where those factors could be aligned, LA Galaxy should absolutely put themselves forward for the free signing of Luka Modric. Where's the harm in trying, at least?
2. Nacho Fernández
Next, we turn to the defensive prowess of Nacho Fernández. With a wealth of experience from his tenure at Real Madrid, the 34-year-old center-back could offer the Galaxy something akin to what Maya Yoshida currently brings to the table.
Fernández’s leadership and defensive acumen could either complement Yoshida or potentially pave the way for a generational shift in the backline.
3. Vinícius Tobías
Lastly, we spotlight a young talent ripe for development, Vinícius Tobías. The 20-year-old right-back, on loan at Real Madrid from Shakhtar, presents an intriguing option for the Galaxy.
While Miki Yamane currently occupies the right-back position, Tobías could provide competitive depth and potentially vie for a starting role, offering a balance of youth and experience within the squad.
These three players represent a blend of experience, leadership, and promising talent that could hypothetically transform the LA Galaxy. From the crafty veteran play of Modric to the steady influence of Fernández and the potential growth of Tobías, each brings a unique element that could resonate well within the Galaxy's diverse roster.
It’s exciting to ponder the impact these players could make, reminding us of the endless possibilities that lie within the beautiful game.
