Breaking news: Christian Ramirez isbeing traded to expansion side, Los Angeles FC

Christian Ramirez’s name has been in the headlines for months now, whether it be his form or transfer news. Today, two days prior to the transfer deadline, we have concrete news.

Paul Tenorio of TheAthleticSoccer is reporting that Ramirez is headed to expansion side Los Angeles FC. The terms of the deal have not yet been released, and when they are we will promptly update with what is to follow.

It has been rumored that Ramirez has been on his way out for months, and that rumor became a reality when the club signed their second designated player in Angelo Rodriguez, a striker out of Colombia. Ramirez was benched and he did not play this past weekend in a home loss to the Seattle Sounders.
