Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Riqui Puig signed a contract extension through the end of the 2027 MLS season.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the Galaxy on Friday.
The 24-year-old Spaniard has recorded five goals and eight assists in 15 matches (all starts) this season.
“We are incredibly excited that Riqui has extended his commitment to the Galaxy through 2027,” Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz said. “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.”
An All-Star in 2023, Puig has 15 goals and 21 assists in 54 career MLS matches (52 starts) since he joined the Galaxy from FC Barcelona in August 2022.
“Riqui is a unique talent and an extreme competitor,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. “This extension is both a recognition of what Riqui has accomplished, as well as a symbol of our mutual belief and commitment that we can win championships with him as a centerpiece of our team. We are excited that Riqui is settled here in LA, as the pursuit for our sixth MLS Cup continues.”
