The LA Galaxy are about to undergo a significant revolution that could completely transform the team this season. Midfielder Gastón Brugman, after a few weeks away due to the process of obtaining his Green Card, has finally obtained the documentation. As a result, he no longer occupies an international berth in the squad, facilitating the arrival of new stars such as the long-awaited Marcos Reus. This news is a real boost for Galaxy fans, who are eagerly awaiting reinforcements who can take the team back to the top.

When the Galaxy began negotiations with Reus, there was one major obstacle: the absence of an international player slot and the lack of an open Designated Player (DP) position. However, Brugman's obtaining of a green card completely changes the scenario, opening up the vacancy needed for Reus' arrival. Now, the only remaining obstacle is the question of salary. Currently, Reus could earn a maximum of US$1.7 million in Los Angeles, which is well below the US$4 million offered by Charlotte.

Reus, however, seems determined to move to the United States, even with other offers. The possibility of playing in the MLS and living the American experience has great appeal, and the Galaxy are willing to make a structured deal that will eventually allow Reus to earn what he deserves. Signing Reus could be the difference the Galaxy need to regain their status as a powerhouse in American soccer.

On the other hand, Brugman, after a period of inactivity due to the process of obtaining his green card and recovering from a knee injury, needs to focus on his fitness. The midfielder will be a crucial part of the team when he is fully available. His positioning ability and consistency in midfield are attributes the Galaxy desperately need. Brugman is an excellent passer, especially in the final third, and his tackling and ball recovery skills are essential to the team's defensive solidity.

This combination of a fit Brugman and the possible arrival of Reus could turn the Galaxy into a real soccer machine. The impact on the team's style of play and morale could be enormous. What's more, the presence of a world-class star like Reus attracts not only fans, but also sponsors and media attention that could propel the franchise to new heights.

The Galaxy's strategy is clear: strengthen the team with international talent and create an environment where these players can shine. Brugman obtaining his green card is a strategic move that demonstrates the board's commitment to the team's growth and evolution. And the possible arrival of Reus is the icing on the cake, a bold step that could redefine the future of the LA Galaxy.

While the final details are still being sorted out, anticipation is already running high. Fans can't wait to see how Reus will adapt to the MLS and how Brugman will contribute his talent once he's fully fit. The season promises strong emotions and, who knows, the Galaxy could finally get back on their feet and fight for the title with a renewed squad full of stars.

The LA Galaxy are preparing for a revolution, and it all starts with these strategic moves. Gastón Brugman, with his Green Card, opens doors to a promising future, and Marcos Reus, with his possible arrival, could be the catalyst the team needed.
