He has also been a league-leader in a series of categories including passes attempted, passes completed and touches, which shows his worth to Greg Vanney’s side.

Unsurprisingly, everyone connected to the club is delighted with securing the 24-year-old midfielder’s future.

LA Galaxy General Manager Will Kuntz said: “We are incredibly excited that Riqui has extended his commitment to the Galaxy through 2027.”

“Riqui has been an elite midfielder during his time in MLS and ensuring that he will remain a critical piece of our team was crucial as we continue our pursuit of putting a championship-caliber squad on the field.”

Galaxy currently sit second in the Western Conference after 16 games, just two points behind leaders Real Salt Late.
