The LA Galaxy have strengthened their roster with the high-profile acquisitions of winger Hirving Lozano and midfielder Sergi Roberto. Lozano joins the club on loan from San Diego FC through December 2026, with an option to purchase. The move follows a period of inactivity after San Diego FC announced he was not part of their sporting plans earlier in 2026. Arriving as a Designated Player, the 31-year-old is set to earn a base salary of $6 million per year, supplemented by $9,333,333 in guaranteed compensation, making him one of the league’s top earners. General Manager Will Kuntz described the signing of the former Napoli player as ‘closing a circle,’ noting the club had previously attempted to sign him three years ago. During his introductory press conference, Lozano expressed a desire to return to the Mexican national team under Rafael Márquez, citing Lionel Messi’s performance in MLS as an inspiration. Lozano aims to regain match fitness as the club pushes for playoff positioning in the final 15 matches of the regular season. Sergi Roberto joined the team as a free agent from Como. His contract runs through June 30, 2028, with an option to extend into the 2028-2029 season, subject to P-1 visa approval. General Manager Will Kuntz noted that the 34-year-old former Barcelona captain brings “a combination of leadership, technical quality, tactical intelligence and winning experience that few players possess.” These signings join other established players such as Marco Reus and Riqui Puig as the club seeks to improve its standing in the MLS Western Conference.
