Journalist confirms LA Galaxy is very close to sealing a signing

The LA Galaxy appears to be on the verge of securing a promising addition to their defensive line-up, as reports from journalist Pipe Sierra suggest that the club is keen on acquiring 22-year-old center-back Carlos Emiro Garcés.

Corner of the Galaxy, a reliable source for Galaxy news, has corroborated this information, indicating that negotiations are underway for a potential loan deal with an option to buy.

Further confirmation comes from The Athletic's reporter Tom Bogert, who states, "The LA Galaxy are finalizing a deal to sign Colombian center-back Carlos Garces on loan from Deportivo Pereira." With Garcés boasting 68 appearances for Pereira, he presents a valuable option for bolstering the Galaxy's defensive lineup.

Negotiations between the Galaxy and Pereira seem to be progressing positively, with terms of the loan deal and personal agreements reportedly settled. Now, the focus shifts to securing Garcés' visa for travel, indicating that the deal is in its final stages.

The addition of Garcés would address an immediate need for defensive reinforcements for the Galaxy, providing depth and quality to their backline.

With the deal nearing completion, Galaxy fans can anticipate the arrival of Garcés and look forward to seeing him contribute to the team's success on the field.

This also can be interpreted as a way for the LA Galaxy's management to prepare for the team's future defensive line, considering that center-backs Maya Yoshida (35), Martín Cáceres (36), and Eriq Zavaleta (32) are all veterans.
