Dosis Futbolera claims that Alvaro Morata turned down the chance to sign with LA Galaxy in January 2024, which means that the Major League Soccer (MLS) squad will need to find a new striker after Javier Hernandez left at the end of the 2023 campaign.

Since Hernandez’s departure, the LA Galaxy have been aggressively looking for a center forward to take his place. After Javier Hernandez and Douglas Costa left the team, two spots became open for Designated Players, and the team was considering adding Morata to strengthen their offensive lineup.

The Galaxy’s pursuit of a star striker has halted as a result of Morata’s choice to reject the move, despite the open place and the team’s desire to strengthen their offensive line. Due to the Spanish forward’s decision, the MLS team is now looking for other ways to bolster their roster for the following campaign.

Morata’s decision to decline a contract offer from LA Galaxy, a team aggressively seeking to acquire a prominent striker, is an unexpected development for the team. As the Galaxy looks to bolster their offensive line in advance of the upcoming season and find a suitable replacement, the decision forces all parties to reassess their possibilities in the transfer market.
