They’re still over two years away from joining MLS, but LAFC are already making headlines across the pond.


English tabloid The Mirror reported on Wednesday that the club is targeting Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney for their 2018 debut season, quoting an anonymous source who claims the club is “obsessed” with Ronaldo.



The report also claimed that LAFC are also interested in Rooney, and cited his offseason vacations to LA as evidence that the English international would potentially be interested in signing with the club.
