    How much did LA pay to get him?

    More than that (think it was 5 mil or so). Effectively they are hoping that he plays well for Braga and another Euro team overpays for him and they make back money on the sell-on fee. He plays his way into an 8 or 10 million fee then they make out on the deal.

    It was only a loan till July and considering everything with that team I wasn't expecting them to extend it. He didn't look bad but he wasn't a long term solution and that is sort of what FCC needs to start working on.

    This is another rumor that won't die. No idea how they get it done with the 3 DPs they already have, but this rumor has been pretty persistent.

    Allesandrini is in the last year of his contract. They could sign him to a new deal that is under 1.5 million and buy him down under TAM. Or they could trade him (yes, I know he is currently injured) to a team like Montreal. But mostly this will come down to what they can do with him since he is the most expendable of the 3 DPs.

    Also, sort of LA related. Shenzen FC just dropped 13.5 million euros on an almost 30 year old forward from Braga. That has sent Ola Kamara down to their reserve side only 5 months after being bought for around 3 million dollars.

    Yep, I also read a recent article from Stejskal on the Athletic that indicates that another option might be to structure the deal as a short term loan with an option to buy. I know it is behind a pay wall, but he does a pretty good job of breaking down both the pathway you mentioned and this one.

    FWIW, he also says this, "One source said the Galaxy are “reasonably confident” they’ll land Pavon in the secondary transfer window, which runs from July 9th to Aug. 7th."
