Former MLS Most Valuable Player Carlos Vela's tenure with Los Angeles FC may be over after the club recently declined to activate its option for the 2025 season.
Vela, 35, signed a one-year contract in September with a club option for 2025 but saw only four minutes of playing time in an Oct. 27 playoff game. During this offseason, the sides have been in talks regarding the Mexico native's status moving forward.
