“I don’t know if this will be my last season in the Los Angeles Galaxy. I have goals, I have ambitions, I have dreams of going to play in higher level leagues. Going to Europe is my goal, it’s my dream. I’m taking things day by day, I’m not focused on that now, when the time comes I will.”

He also mentioned that for now he’s focused on LA Galaxy, as he’s under contract with the Galaxy until 2025 and that he’s not pressured on leaving MLS, as neither he nor his agent are actively looking for a new team. “What’s for me, will be for me.”
