LAFC has finalized a deal to sign highly-rated Venezuelan youth international winger David Martinez from Monagas SC for a reported $3.5m, setting a record for a move from Venezuela to abroad. Ajax almost signed him in the summer. CF Montréal is nearing a deal to sign free agent forward Josef Martinez, former MLS MVP and MLS Cup winner. David Martínez has been signed on a permanent transfer to LAFC through 2027 with a Club option for 2028. The lanky, left-footed winger is compared to Dylan Borrero and could become a Tajon Buchanan type of player with the right development. In his first hour as an LAFC player, David Martínez assisted with a backheel pass against Brazil. Valentin Barco, a Brighton left-back, makes his latest appearance for Argentina U23s against Uruguay in Olympic qualifying in Venezuela tonight.
