The LA Galaxy announced their year-end roster decisions on Thursday, noting they're in discussions with midfielder Diego Fagúndez and forward Matheus Nascimento about returning for 2026.
Fagúndez's contract option was declined after a two-and-a-half-year stint with the Galaxy. The 30-year-old helped LA win MLS Cup 2024 and is among the most accomplished homegrown players in MLS history (originally New England ), tallying 79g/75a in 424 appearances.
Nascimento was on a season-long loan from Brazilian side Botafogo with a purchase option. The 21-year-old produced 6g/4a in 28 games across all competitions.
Meanwhile, veteran forward Christian Ramírez received a contract extension and outside backs Mauricio Cuevas and John Nelson both had their contract options exercised.
