A year removed from finishing atop the Western Conference standings, LAFC should again be an MLS Cup contender in 2025.
The Black & Gold's midfield is reworked with Mark Delgado (trade with LA Galaxy), Odin Thiago Holm (loan from Celtic FC) and Igor Jesus (transfer from Estrela Amadora) all arriving this winter.
