COG STUDIOS, Calif. — The LA Galaxy have officially landed Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, but Will Kuntz and the front office apparently weren’t finished.
Just one day after confirming Lozano’s arrival, the Galaxy surprised nearly everyone by adding former Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto, giving Greg Vanney another experienced piece as the club attempts to rescue its 2026 season.
On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy: From the Box, Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter break down both signings, why the Galaxy believe their veteran locker room could be the right environment for Lozano, and why Roberto may ultimately become one of the most important additions of the summer.
And the Galaxy may not be done.
The club still has a U22 Initiative slot available, needs to solve its international roster-slot crunch and could make additional moves before the window closes. Meanwhile, 16-year-old Galaxy prospect Vinny Garcia is reportedly nearing a roughly $3 million move to Chelsea, providing another example of the club turning its academy talent into significant transfer revenue.
All of this comes with the Galaxy sitting outside the playoff positions and desperately needing more offense. Lozano could get his first opportunity Saturday against the Houston Dynamo, with Josh saying he wouldn’t be surprised to see the Mexican star immediately enter the starting lineup.
Is this the roster that can finally turn the Galaxy’s season around?
🎙️ Listen to Corner of the Galaxy as Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter break down Chucky Lozano, the surprise Sergi Roberto signing, the Galaxy’s remaining roster moves and what comes next in the push for the MLS Cup Playoffs.
