USMNT midfielder Luca de la Torre reportedly set to join MLS newcomer San Diego FC on loan

<p>Ahead of the club's first MLS season, San Diego reportedly will add USMNT veteran Luca de la Torre on an initial loan from Celta Vigo, where he has played since 2022. The deal was first reported by <a href="https://www.givemesport.com/san-diego-fc-nearing-deal-for-usmnt-midfielder-luca-de-la-torre-sources/" target="_self">GiveMeSport.</a></p><p>The 26-year-old American has made 67 appearances with the Spanish side since joining from Heracles in the Netherlands but has made just one La Liga appearance this season after missing time with an injury.</p><p>De la Torre has 24 caps with the USMNT and was part of the 2022 World Cup squad in Qatar. He played four times for the national team in 2024 but hasn't featured since September under then-interim coach Mikey Varas, who will be his new coach with San Diego.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>De la Torre, who was born and raised in San Diego, will be a key figure for the expansion side, who continue to fill out their squad ahead of their first season. He joins star winger Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano as a key piece of Varas' puzzle. In addition to Lozano, the club has also signed MLS veterans Andres Reyes, Anibal Godoy, and Emmanuel Boateng, Nottingham Forest product Alex Mighten, and longtime Middlesbrough defender Paddy McNair.</p><p>The 26-year-old midfielder could wind up being a centerpiece for years to come if the club ends up taking up the purchase option included in the loan deal.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>De la Torre played for local youth side San Diego Surf during his childhood before moving to England to join the Fulham academy in 2013.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>San Diego FC will open their first MLS season on Feb. 23, when they visit the defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy. After that, they'll host St. Louis City SC in their first home match on March 1.</p>
