The journalist Clément Carpentier of 20 minutes reveals that Albert Elis will join the LAFC this Friday. He will sign a loan with a purchase option of €5m. It is not obligatory but “quasi obligatory”.
The Girondins do not ultimately transfer the player but make a loan. The payroll reduction will initially be temporary. Elis will therefore not be traveling to Dijon. Stade Brestois (Ligue 1) was also interested in the player who finally chose Los Angeles.

Los Angeles FC wants a loan
Alberth Elis is followed in MSL where he played for several seasons with Houston. After learning about the two North American clubs interested in the Girondins striker (Editor’s note FC Dallas and the San José Earthquakes), we now know who is the third.
This is according to the American journalist Kristian Dyer of the Los Angeles Football Club. The franchise has even reportedly offered a loan offer for Alberth Elis. Moreover, the deal would include a transfer possibility if the American club wants it. It is probably a loan with an option to buy.
Per source, hearing that #LAFC have made a loan offer for Alberth Elis. The Honduran international could be headed back to MLS.
Deal includes a sizable buy-on to make permanent if the MLS club wants.

In addition, we know that the Girondins want a dry transfer of up to €6m for their player during this transfer window.
Nevertheless, due to a lack of transfer possibilities, a loan in the American League could be an opportunity for the Girondins and the player.
This Thursday, a rumor announced the interest of La Spezia for Alberth Elis. This file will be hot until the last hours of the transfer window.
