CARSON, California (AP) :

The LA Galaxy have acquired forward Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano on loan from San Diego FC for the remainder of the Major League Soccer season, with an option to make the move permanent through trade.

The deal ends a long standoff between the 31-year-old Lozano and San Diego, who signed the Mexican star from PSV Eindhoven in 2024 as their first designated player. Lozano scored 11 goals and added nine assists in 34 appearances during San Diego’s successful inaugural season in 2025, becoming a fan favourite. But he was benched late in the campaign after a locker-room altercation, and his relationship with the club deteriorated.
