Columbus Crew

<p>The Galaxy have quickly found their replacement for Dejan Joveljic, as they acquired Christian Ramirez from the Crew, according to a report. He spurned offers from Colombian side America de Cali to stay around MLS. The 33-year-old is from Santa Ana, California, and attended college in Santa Barbara.</p><p><a href="https://www.givemesport.com/la-galaxy-agree-deal-to-sign-christian-ramirez-from-columbus-sources/" target="_blank"><em>GiveMeSport's</em></a><em> </em>Tom Bogert was first to report the news. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ramirez enjoyed something of a career rebirth last season under Wilfried Nancy and Columbus. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/columbus-crew-lafc-leagues-cup-cucho-hernandez/bltc786b966ff0cd392" target="_blank">He scored eight and assisted six in all competitions for the Leagues Cup champions</a>, while playing just over 1,400 minutes - competing for time with Hernandez and Diego Rossi. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The move would seem to leave the Crew with extensive work to do in attack. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/la-liga-real-betis-reportedly-columbus-crew-star-cucho-hernandez-/blt8047620ded9a400c" target="_blank">They lost star man Hernandez to Real Betis earlier this week in a deal worth $16 million</a>. It now leaves Rossi as the only remaining starting-caliber attacker in the side.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The forward will join up with the Galaxy immediately, and figures to be the starting No.9 as the Los Angeles side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/la-galaxy-can-this-team-gabriel-pec-joseph-paintsil-and-dejan-joveljic-for-repeat-hopes-in-2025/bltfb8f493340f52ef8" target="_blank">retools after winning 2024's MLS Cup</a>.</p>
