LA Galaxy to shell out $10,000 to Vasco da Gama for each Gabriel Pec goal

The LA Galaxy's ambitious signing of Gabriel Pec from Vasco da Gama has stirred excitement among fans, but recent revelations highlight the financial challenges associated with the Brazilian's success.

With each goal he scores, the Galaxy must shell out $10,000 to Vasco da Gama, a clause that could cost the club millions if Pec maintains his prolific form, as per AS.

Pec, touted as one of the rising stars of the 2024 Major League Soccer season, arrived in Los Angeles with high expectations and a hefty price tag of around $10 million.

However, the financial burden does not end with the initial transfer fee. According to reports from AS, the Galaxy is obligated to pay up to $1.5 million to Vasco da Gama if Pec achieves certain performance milestones during the season.

This includes $10,000 for each goal he scores, a clause that remains valid until his 50th goal.

The significance of this clause became evident when Pec netted his first goal for the Galaxy in a crucial 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders.

While the goal secured three points for the Galaxy and extended their unbeaten run to six games, it also added $10,000 to the club's financial obligations to Vasco da Gama.

Well, we can't say it's not worth it. Pec showcased his offensive qualities at Vasco da Gama, and with two consecutive starts and a goal for LA Galaxy, the Brazilian is starting to show glimpses of what he's capable of.
